Ingredients:
1/2 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups water
2 large apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Honey, for drizzling
Instructions:
In a saucepan, combine the quinoa, water, and chopped apples.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the quinoa has absorbed the water.
Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon.
Divide the mixture into two bowls. Drizzle with honey and, if desired, sprinkle with additional cinnamon.
Serve warm and enjoy!
