  3. Reduce heat to low and continue to stir frequently until the quinoa is cooked through and the mixture has thickened slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup peeled and diced apple.
  5. Transfer to serving bowls. Top with 1 tablespoon of applesauce and a few slices of fresh apple.
  6. Serve warm or cold.
