How to Make Apple Pie Breakfast Quinoa

  1. Rinse 1 cup quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup quinoa, 2 cups water or apple juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the apples are tender.
  4. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork to separate the grains.
  5. Divide the quinoa into bowls. Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup (to taste) and sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped pecans.
  6. Enjoy immediately!
