Ingredients

• 1 cup almond milk
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions & Preparation

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
2. Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
3. While the chia pudding is thickening, prepare the apple filling. In a skillet over medium heat, add the diced apples, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a splash of water. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the apples are tender.
4. For the crumble topping, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, chopped nuts, and nutmeg in a bowl until well combined.
5. Spread the crumble mixture on a baking sheet and toast it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown.
6. Once the chia pudding has thickened (about 30 minutes), layer it in serving glasses or bowls. Start with a layer of chia pudding, followed by the warm apple filling, and top with the toasted crumble.
7. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled. Finish with an extra sprinkling of crumble on top.
8. Serve immediately for a warm treat or chill in the fridge for later enjoyment.
