- 1 medium Gala apple, peeled, cored, and chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1⁄2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup almond milk

What is the calorie count?

Gloria, I'm sorry, but this contributor's book (The Oh She Glows Cookbook by Angela Liddon) doesn't contain nutritional info. We're slowly working our way through analyzing the recipes on this site. Meanwhile, you can try an easy tool like the one on My Fitness Pal to figure out the calorie count and other basics.

125 grams of apple and that going to be equal to just, like, a typical regular sized apple, like this, 25 grams of pitted dates, and then one teaspoon of cinnamon; and then one other optional addition here would be some natural peanut butter, if you’re okay bumping the calories up a little bit higher for some added flavor, about a tablespoon or so would work well.

Here's what I got for nutrition information using the labels on the food I had an some online resources:
Oatmeal without toppings:
Calories: 411
Fat: 8.6g
Fiber: 14.5g
Protein: 8.5g
Oatmeal with 1 Tbsp hemp and 1 Tbsp walnuts:
Calories: 512g
Fat: 17.35g
Fiber: 16g
Prot: 11g
Note the apple has 5g of fiber WITH the skin on, so your fiber content will go down if you peel the apple (I didn't and I liked it that way)
I thought this was a tasty recipe, I own the cookbook and highly recommend it. I don't think you need an entire tablespoon of maple syrup. I had a smaller size apple and thought it was plenty sweet with half that and next time probably won't put any at all. If you don't have a big sweet tooth then the apple and the unsweetened apple sauce should provide enough sweetness.
