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.
