Ingredients

• 2 cups peeled and ½-inch diced apples (we recommend Ambrosia, SnapDragon®, or SweeTango®)
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup
• 2 Tbsp water
• Pinch of salt

Chia Pudding Base

• ¼ cup chia seeds
• 1 cup dairy or nut milk
• ¾ cup unsweetened vanilla dairy or coconut yogurt (if using Greek yogurt, add a little more nut milk to thin mixture)
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• ½ cup unsweetened cinnamon applesauce (store bought or homemade)
• Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Mix apples, maple syrup, 2 Tbsp water, and salt in a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Note: If apples are browning too quickly, turn down heat and add another 1-2 Tbsp water.
2. Cool to room temperature before assembling. 

Chia Pudding Base

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together chia seeds, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, applesauce, and salt. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. To assemble the individual puddings: spoon half of the pudding base into (4) 8 oz. jars. Top with half of the apple compote. Alternate two more layers, first the pudding base and then the compote. Make sure the mixtures are divided evenly between all 4 jars.
3. Cover with an airtight lid and refrigerate for several hours before serving. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
