Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Chia Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine, ensuring no clumps of chia seeds. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  2. Make Apple Compote: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until apples are tender and coated in sauce. Keep warm.
  3. Create Crumble Topping: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, extra brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and mix until it resembles wet sand. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden.
  4. Assemble Pudding: In clear glasses, layer chia pudding, warm apple compote, and crumble topping. Repeat layers and finish with a sprinkle of crumble on top.
  5. Serve or Chill: Serve immediately while warm or refrigerate for a few hours to meld flavors.
