Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds and diced apples until evenly combined and free of clumps.
  3. Rest the mixture for 10 minutes, stir again, then divide evenly into jars.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until thick, creamy, and fully set.
  5. Stir before serving. Add a splash of milk for a softer texture and finish with preferred toppings.

Notes

For a softer pudding, mix in extra milk before serving. For a thicker consistency, increase the chia seeds slightly. Freeze sealed jars for convenient breakfasts and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Add toppings after chilling for the best assembly and crunch. Customize with pears, raisins, nutmeg, or pecans. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
