1 cup uncooked quinoa2 sprays cooking spray1 Tbs. salted butter, divided2 medium fresh apples, chopped or diced2 cups cold water1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon3 Tbs. packed brown sugar1/4 cup 1% milk
Soak quinoa in a bowl of water for 5 minutes.

Add apples and cook, turning occasionally, until apples are soft and begin to caramelize, about 5 to 10 minutes depending on personal taste; set aside
Rinse and drain quinoa. Add quinoa and 2 cups of cold water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, cover pan tightly and allow quinoa to simmer for 10 minutes. When quinoa is cooked (a little tail will appear on each grain), remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter, cinnamon, sugar and milk; stir to combine and fold in apples. Yields about 2/3 cup per serving.
