This nourishing chia pudding is layered with warm, caramelized UNS Fuji Premium Apples for a wholesome dessert or breakfast. It's naturally sweetened, high in fiber and protein, and can be easily made dairy-free.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (regular or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (regular or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 UNS Fuji Premium Apples, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free option)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Method
- Prepare the chia pudding In a bowl, mix chia seeds, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly. Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Sauté the apples Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add maple syrup and bring to a gentle bubble. Add the diced UNS Fuji Premium Apples and cook for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and stir in cinnamon. Let cool slightly.
- Assemble and serve Stir the chia pudding to loosen the texture. Divide between two serving glasses or bowls. Top with warm sautéed apples and serve, or chill and enjoy later.
