Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 medium apple, peeled and diced

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

A pinch of salt

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (optional, for crunch)

1 tablespoon raisins or dried cranberries (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions
 

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

    Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the liquid. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.

      Fold in the diced apple, making sure to coat the apple pieces in the chia mixture.

        Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual jars with lids. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4-6 hours) to allow the chia seeds to swell and thicken the pudding.

          In the morning, stir the chia pudding to combine. If desired, you can add a splash more almond milk for a creamier consistency.

            Top with chopped walnuts and raisins or dried cranberries before serving for added texture and flavor. Enjoy your delicious Apple Pie Overnight Chia Pudding!
