Ingredients
  

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

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 medium apple, peeled and diced into small cubes

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust according to your desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

A pinch of sea salt

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (optional, for a delightful crunch)

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

Instructions
 

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Add the chia seeds into the bowl, stirring continuously to ensure they are evenly dispersed within the liquid. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.

      Gently fold in the diced apple, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the chia mixture for an even distribution of flavor.

        Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, or alternatively, transfer the mixture into individual jars with lids for individual servings. Place in the refrigerator to chill and set overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.

          The following morning, stir the chia pudding to combine its texture. If you prefer a creamier consistency, add a splash of almond milk and mix well.

            Just before serving, top your chia pudding with chopped walnuts and raisins or dried cranberries for added texture, flavor, and a touch of sweetness. Enjoy your delightful Apple Pie Overnight Chia Pudding!
