Apple Pie Chia Seed Pudding

This Apple Pie Chia Seed Pudding is packed with nutrients and super easy to whip up. Layered with a creamy chia seed pudding and topped with fried cinnamon apples. It is the perfect make ahead recipe when you have a busy week ahead of you.

I love making healthy recipes ahead of time and putting them in the refrigerator for an easy grab and go snack. This Apple Pie Chia Seed Pudding is one of those great recipes to make ahead of time and eat as breakfast, snack, or dessert. Not only does it taste wonderful but keeps you feeling full longer than most snacks.

For the chia seed pudding there are a couple of milk options that I recommend you use. I like to use either coconut, almond, or cashew milk from the carton. There is also coconut milk from the can that you can buy but it is not my favorite choice when making Chia Seed Pudding for its thick consistency.

After you have poured the milk into your jars you will then add the chia seeds and vanilla. You want to make sure to mix the chia seeds really well with the milk to avoid clumping. Cover the chia seed pudding jars and place them in the refrigerator to thicken for at least 4 hours. If you have time, I recommend to leave the chia seed pudding overnight to get a thicker pudding.

Take your pudding out of the container and mix again to remove any clumps. You can add additional sweeteners like agave or maple syrup or just top it with the apples as a natural sweetener. Divide chia seed pudding into jars and top with fried apples, pecans, coconut flakes, and hemp seeds.

I made this Apple Pie Chia Seed Pudding with chopped pink lady apples for its crunchy texture and tart but sweet taste. However, any type of apples would taste as wonderful with this chia seed pudding.
