Easy Baked Apple Chia Pudding

Easy Baked Apple Chia Pudding

I am a huge fan of chia pudding. It’s a great way to enjoy your daily fiber intake with chia seeds, and also enjoy the texture of a pudding all in one. I am a huge fan of creating chia puddings for breakfast that are a yogurt base or a coconut milk base for a delicate and neutral flavor – especially when you add on the Easy Baked Apples on the top.

Easy Baked Apples

Not only are the flavors of apples, cinnamon, lemon juice and nutmeg the best combination for fall, they make your house smell absolutely incredible. Baked apples are a fall and holiday staple, but I like to go the easy route so I can make them all the time. I have been making this recipe since college because it wraps you in a fall apple cinnamon sweater and makes you feel so cozy! Baked apples can be prepared a few ways, although you aren’t technically baking these apples in the oven you are slow cooking them on the stove or in a crockpot.

Ingredients for Easy Baked Apple Chia Pudding

I like to keep this recipe as easy and simple as possible because half the time I make this it’s when I have a few older apples in the pantry, one lemon and want a delicious fall treat.

  • Fresh Apples
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Ground Nutmeg
  • Lemon Juice
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Chia Seeds
  • Coconut Yogurt (or regular yogurt)

What kind of Yogurt is best for Chia Pudding?

Choosing the best base for your chia pudding is partially personal preference and partially texture. I like using Forager unsweetened cashew yogurt because it has a very mild flavor and enough moisture and looseness in the yogurt that allows the chia seeds to expand. That may sound kinda weird but since greek style yogurt has less water content, the thickness in the texture doesn’t allow the chia to expand to full plumpness to provide the chia pudding.

How to store / how long does this last?

I typically make 3-4 servings at a time for 3-4 mornings or snacks worth of yogurt. Once you make your chia pudding you can store the apples separately or with the chia pudding. Again, personal preferences comes to how to best store these. Regardless of if you choose to store the apples together or with the chia pudding, keep them in an airtight jar or container and serve your self from the jar when you want a snack.
