Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened soy milk

- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 vegan probiotic capsules
- 4 medium apples
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the soy milk and agar-agar powder. Whisk to dissolve the agar-agar.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring regularly. Cook for 5 minutes, until the agar-agar is completely dissolved.
Step 3
Remove from heat and let it cool to around 110°F (43°C), slightly warmer than room temperature.
Step 4
Open the probiotic capsules and stir the contents into the soy milk mixture along with the maple syrup.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once the yogurt is tangy to your liking, refrigerate to set further and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Step 7
Meanwhile, to make the applesauce, peel, core, and dice the apples.
Step 8
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, water, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
Step 9
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and start to break down, about 15–20 minutes.
Step 10
Mash the apples with a potato masher or fork (or blend for a smoother consistency) to reach your desired texture.
Step 11
Allow the applesauce to cool to room temperature.
Step 12
Serve the chilled vegan yogurt with a generous dollop of homemade applesauce on top. Enjoy!
