METHOD · 4 STEPS

prep
Prep the apples.
1.Wash the apples well and pat them dry.
2.Core each apple and dice into small bite-sized cubes, about 1 cm each.
3.Transfer the diced apple to a medium mixing bowl.
TIPLeave the peel on for extra fiber and a pop of color — just wash thoroughly.
mix
Make the dressing and combine.
1.Add the lemon juice and honey to the diced apples.
2.Sprinkle in the pinch of salt and drizzle in the water.
3.Add the chia seeds and toss everything together until the apples are evenly coated.
TIPWater helps the chia seeds hydrate evenly and form that lovely gel coating around the fruit.
rest · ~10 min
Let the chia seeds bloom.
Set the bowl aside at room temperature for 10 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes. The chia seeds will soften and plump up, creating a light pudding-like texture around the apples.
TIPDon't skip the rest — it's when the magic happens. The seeds need time to absorb liquid and turn soft.
garnish
Give it a final toss and serve.
Stir the mixture once more to redistribute any settled seeds and juices. Spoon into small bowls and serve chilled or at room temperature.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Leave the apple peel on for extra fiber and vibrant color contrast.
2
Dice apples uniformly to ensure even coating and a consistent texture.
3
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest flavor and to prevent browning.
4
Stir the mixture again after resting to redistribute the chia gel evenly.
5
Refrigerate for 20 minutes if you prefer a chilled, thicker pudding-like texture.
6
Taste before serving and add an extra drizzle of honey if your apples are tart.
