Step 1: Prepare the chia pudding mixture

Add the chia seeds, non-dairy milk, applesauce, maple syrup, apple pie spice, and dairy-free yogurt to a large mixing bowl, airtight container, or mason jar.

Step 2: Mix thoroughly

Stir or whisk until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Make sure the chia seeds are distributed throughout the liquid rather than clumping together.

Step 3: Refrigerate

Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.

The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a thick, creamy pudding.

For a smoother consistency, stir the mixture again after the first 10–15 minutes of chilling.

Step 4: Prepare the apple

When ready to serve, wash and core the apple.

Chop it into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 5: Cook the cinnamon apples

Add the chopped apple, coconut oil, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon to a skillet.

Place over medium heat.

Step 6: Sauté until tender

Cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and become lightly golden.

The maple syrup and cinnamon should coat the apple pieces in a fragrant, glossy mixture.

Step 7: Assemble the pudding

Spoon the chilled Apple Pie Chia Pudding into individual serving bowls or jars.

Top each portion with the warm cinnamon apples.

Step 8: Garnish and serve

Finish with an extra pinch of cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.

Serve immediately, or allow the apples to cool before assembling for a completely chilled breakfast.
