  I just made this. I used Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon apple spice tea. The flavor of the tea tricks my mind into thinking the dish is sweeter. I reduced the cinnamon to 1 tsp & the cloves to 1/2 tsp. I think it's sweet enough w/the apples & didn't use the syrup, 1% milk, & for me,this is a dessert - 4/16/13

  The proportions of spices in this are way off for this recipe. Way too much clove (Made my tongue numb) Too much cinnamon. Next time I make it I will cut way back! - 4/8/13

  I liked this recipe. At first, I had my dobuts. It turned out very good. A great way to use extra lentils. I used Splenda and Almond milk in mine. - 3/26/13

  What a great breakfast! I am going to experiment w/using agave syrup vs. maple for a bit less sugar for me. Delish! Great hot breakfast. - 3/1/13

  I didn't have apples but I had an open can of Pears in pear juice. I used the pear juice plus earl grey tea , added 1/2 cup of frozen cranberries and 1 tsp fresh grated ginger. Instead of coconut milk or milk I added unsweetened fat free yogurt. YUMMY! - 4/19/13

  I love lentils! I'm going to try it with Stevia, nutmeg, vanilla, and Coconut or Almond Milk. I don't eat or drink Soy. - 3/9/13

  I love lentils and all the ingredients but I was glad i only made 1/2 recipe. Turmeric way too strong and will also cut down on the cloves but will try again. - 5/8/13

  Wow, sounds interesting...I may try mashed banana for my sugar instead of the maple syrup. - 3/3/13

  This is absolutely delicious!! I threw a Ginger Peach tea bag in the pot when I cooked them. I used 1/2 the amount of cloves. I didn't use the syrup at all - doesn't need it! Tastes like apple pie without the crust! Yum Yum! Make this - you won't regret it. - 2/5/14

  I made this last night and loved the texture with coconut milk over it.. but the spices were a bit too much; I would reduce the spices by half and let the earthy lentils stand out a bit more. - 2/3/14

  Without maple syrup, it is not sweet. Adding extra cinnamon gave me the slight sweetness I needed for breakfast. It will be good as a compliment to lunch and dinner meals. - 4/3/13

  I thought it was a bit bland. I added 1T greek yogurt w/honey which helped. - 4/14/14

  What happened to Sugars in the nutrition information. With that many carbs surely there has to be sugars. I am diabetic and carbs and sugars are important to me. - 1/30/14

  This was gross. I like black bean brownies, chickpea blondies, etc and love red lentils in other things, but I couldn't eat this. - 1/30/14

  I haven't tried it yet, but plan to. If you serve it with brown rice, you start your day with a complete protein (as well as additional fiber). - 1/30/14

  I used Chi tea, but that was a mistake; the dish turned out bitter. I tried cooking overnight in a slow cooker. That didn't work either; the lentils were still hard in the morning and I had to cook on the stove to soften. Even with ignoring the bitterness from the tea, I didn't like this dish. - 4/19/13

  Can you substitute green lentils? That is usually what I have in teh house and they cook a lot quicker. - 4/10/13

  Thanks for the idea - I could make a savoury lentil "porridge"! That would suit my tastes much better than this sweet recipe. - 1/30/14

  This sounds delicious! Would never thought to fix lentils this way and I use the So Delicious vanilla coconut milk every day in our morning smoothies. Nothing new to purchase to make this. - 1/30/14

  This morning I thought how beautiful red lentils are and how much I would like to cook some! Are the lentils soaked in the tea? Red lentils cook almost instantly in boiling liquid. - 1/30/14

  I cooked mine with Vanilla Roobios tea and 2 bananas cooked in the microwave before adding (it softens and sweetens the bananas). AI eliminated the cinnamon, cloves, apples and tumeric. A little Stevia and quite yummy! Maybe a bit of rum extract would be good... - 4/18/13

  I was wondering about making it in the rice cooker? Anyone know if that would work? Looks interesting, but an hr. to prep and 45 min. to cook turns me off. - 4/16/13

  Mmm...looks delicious. Lentils are one of the few types of beans I'll eat, so I think I'll have to try this at some point. Thanks for sharing! :-) - 4/12/13
