  Be careful with the apple juice... its commonly mistaken as a health food because its made of fruit, but is very high in sugar. I'd bypass that alltogether, or boil apples in with it for the flavour. Same goes for flavoured milks, they're packed with sugar, just a heads up for those that watch carbs - 8/7/11

  The information for the crasins is WRONG! If you go to recipe makeover, and select the crasins - check the nutritional info - the one selected says 1.5 c only has 150 calories and NO carbs. Change it to cranberries, dried sweeten and you get an extra 400 calories and 150 carb (per recipe). - 4/11/13

  Be careful the nutritional info is WRONG. Just take two cups of apple juice and 1 1/2 cups of craisins, divide by six and you get over 36 grams of sugar per serving. The nutritional chart says less than 5 grams of sugar, that's not true. Doesn't matter organic or regular. Both the same. - 3/10/14

  Very yummy! I had it for breakfast but think it would also make a nice dessert treat. I'm allergic to soy but used vanilla almond milk which was delicious! - 9/1/10

  I made this for breakfast this morning. It is nice and filling. It does take a little while to make (~30 min), but I've got leftovers for the rest of the week. It doesn't turn out soupy, just cook it until the quinoa soaks up all the liquid. - 5/3/10

  Didn't have apple juice so I used water and added a diced apple. Used rice milk instead of the soy. Adjusted the amount of cinnamon, as some suggested. We ate it for dessert tonight. Yummy! Will make again. - 11/13/12

  This was amazing. I used 1 1/2 cups of vanilla Almond milk and 1 tbsp cinnamon. I would have used less cranberries too but overall I would definitely make this again. - 12/18/11

  This is really easy to make and really yummy!! I'd tried quinoa in a salad and didn't really like it, but when I saw this recipe I decided to give it a 2nd chance and am glad I did. Went for organic apple juice, organic soy, all sugar free, and it's still sweet. thanks 4 sharing - 10/26/12

  I love Quinoa & top it with a microwaved "baked" apple & lots of cinnamon with almond milk just to taste. A sprinkling of craisins, nuts or raisins makes for variety. Very good & lower carbs. This recipe sounds delicious but watch the sugars! - 11/13/16

  the recipe in half). next time I make it will be less cinnamon. - 11/16/12

  Enjoyed this, (I halved the cinnamon as 2 tbsp seemed a lot and could be overpowering and only had 1 cup of craisins)...but I found it was too sweet for my taste. Will definitely make again though - just with a few adjustments to reduce the sweetness - 11/7/11

  I will make this recipe again, but I will make modifications.
  1. There is so much cinnamon that it almost tasted woody. It tasted better before I added the cinnamon so I would cut the cinnamon in half or thirds.
  2. There were too many crasins. I would halve that as well. - 7/14/15

  Next time, I will use 2 teaspoons or maybe a tablespoon of cinnamon. With the apple juice and vanilla almond milk, which I used instead of soy due to allergies, it's almost too sweet. I may try water in place of the juice. - 1/22/12

  I am new to quinoa and have been looking for new recipes. This was easy to make and got me to try soy milk for the first time. Nice flavor, good texture. Next time I would add fewer craisons.
