Ingredients

1 apple cored and diced
½ cup milk dairy or non-dairy
3 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon maple syrup refined sugar-free

Instructions

Blend half of the diced apples with ¼ cup of milk until smooth.
Pour the blended apple and milk mixture into a pan. Add chia seeds and ½ tablespoon maple syrup. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring continuously for about 3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Blend the remaining ¼ cup of cold milk with cinnamon and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add in the apple chia mixture and stir until well combined. Transfer into a glass and place in the fridge.
Heat a pan and add the remaining half of diced apples with ½ tablespoon water, cook for a few minutes on medium-high heat. Add ½ tablespoon maple syrup and ½ teaspoon vanilla, stir to coat the apples and cook for another 2 minutes or until caramelized.
Add caramelized apples on top of the pudding and place back in the fridge for at least 20 minutes or until ready to serve. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving and enjoy!

Notes

Keep stirring: Continuously stir the chia mixture while heating to prevent clumping and create a creamy texture.
Blending the apple chunks: Blending the diced apple chunks with the milk infuses a sweet, fresh apple flavor into the chia mixture. This enhances the taste and provides a way to naturally sweeten the pudding.
