Ingredients
  

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

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 medium apple, peeled and diced (preferably a sweet variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch of salt

Optional toppings: sliced apples, toasted nuts (like walnuts or pecans), coconut flakes, or a dollop of yogurt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk thoroughly until the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

    Mix in Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are well coated in the spice mixture. This will enhance their flavor as they chill.

      Refrigerate: Pour the mixture into a jar or container and cover it. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to swell and the pudding to thicken.

        Serve: After chilling, give the pudding a good stir. If it’s too thick, feel free to add a splash more almond milk to loosen it up. Spoon the chia pudding into bowls or glasses.

          Add Toppings: Top with additional sliced apples, a sprinkle of cinnamon, toasted nuts for crunch, or a bit of coconut flakes for added texture. You can also add a dollop of yogurt for creaminess.

            Enjoy: Serve cold and relish the delightful flavors of apple and spices in this refreshing and nutritious treat.
