Apple Pie Chia Pudding

Recipe by Veronika Sykorova

This Apple Pie Chia Pudding is like fall in a jar! It has apples both inside and on top, lots of apple pie spice, and it's very easy to make! You can skip the sautéed apples and pecans on top, but they're always a delicious addition! Vegan, gluten-free, and a great make-ahead breakfast for meal prep!

  • Total Time5 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield2 1x
  • DietVegan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 apple, grated
  • 1 cup yogurt (I use unsweetened coconut yogurt Yoggu)
  • 1/4 cup milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup (or other sweetener)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp apple pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • For serving: caramelized apples (see notes), fresh apples, granola, nuts, seeds, nut butter, cacao nibs, or berries

Instructions

  1. Grate the apple and add it to a medium bowl, including its juices. I use the side of my grater box with the smaller holes.
  2. Add yogurt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, chia seeds, apple pie spice, and cinnamon.
  3. Whisk everything together until well combined.
  4. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes and whisk again. This prevents any chia seeds from sticking together and creating clumps.
  5. Cover the chia pudding with plastic wrap or divide into single-serving jars.
  6. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 5 hours to give the chia seeds time to expand.
  7. In the morning, serve the chia pudding with caramelized apples, granola, nut butter, or any other toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

Caramelized apples: 1 diced apple, 1 tbsp butter, 1 ½ tbsp maple syrup, ⅛ tsp sea salt, ¼ tsp apple pie spice, ¼ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp vanilla extract, 1-2 tbsp chopped raw pecans (optional). Add everything to a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Allow the butter to melt and toss the apples to mix with the other ingredients. Once the sauce starts to bubble, lower the heat and gently simmer for 5 minutes, tossing once or twice. (See the blog post for more detailed tips.)

Sweetener: To enhance the apple flavor even more, use my Apple Brown Sugar Syrup! You can also use honey, agave, coconut sugar, brown sugar, or stevia.

Storing: Store the chia pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. I don’t recommend freezing it.
