Ingredients

3 servings

•

1 cup red quinoa, rinsed and drained
•

2 cups water
•

1 tablespoon butter
•

1 apple - peeled, cored and diced
•

½ teaspoon salt

•

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
•

2 tablespoons maple syrup
•

⅓ cup sliced almonds
•

1 ½ cups almond milk
•

1 tablespoon half-and-half cream, or to taste (Optional)

Instructions

Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apple, and sprinkle with salt, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Stir in the almonds; cook and stir until the apple is hot and beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the almond milk and half-and-half cream; continue cooking until hot. Stir in the hot quinoa, and cook a few minutes before serving.
