Instructions
- Make Pudding Base:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Let sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until thickened.
- Prepare Apple Layer:
- In a small bowl, toss diced apples with lemon juice and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Assemble & Layer:
- When ready to serve, stir the chia pudding well. Spoon a layer of pudding into serving glasses or bowls, add a layer of apple mixture, then swirl in 1 tablespoon of peanut butter per serving. Repeat layers if desired.
- Garnish:
- Top with chopped peanuts, apple slices, and a drizzle of maple syrup if using.
