Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened soy milk
- 1 teaspoon agar-agar powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 vegan probiotic capsules
- 4 medium apples
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the soy milk and agar-agar powder. Whisk to dissolve the agar-agar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring regularly. Cook for 5 minutes, until the agar-agar is completely dissolved.
Remove from heat and let it cool to around 110°F (43°C), slightly warmer than room temperature.
Open the probiotic capsules and stir the contents into the soy milk mixture along with the maple syrup.
Transfer the mixture to a clean glass jar or yogurt maker, cover with a clean cloth or lid, and let it sit undisturbed in a warm location for 8–12 hours to ferment.
Once the yogurt is tangy to your liking, refrigerate to set further and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Meanwhile, to make the applesauce, peel, core, and dice the apples.
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, water, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and start to break down, about 15–20 minutes.
Mash the apples with a potato masher or fork (or blend for a smoother consistency) to reach your desired texture.
Allow the applesauce to cool to room temperature.
Serve the chilled vegan yogurt with a generous dollop of homemade applesauce on top. Enjoy!
