1/2 c. quinoa, uncooked, rinsed and drained
1-1/4 c. almond milk
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/8 t. nutmeg
1/8 t. salt
Optional: almond milk, maple syrup, chopped pecans, shredded coconut

MAPLE ROASTED APPLES:
1 T. coconut oil, melted
2 T. maple syrup
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/8 t. nutmeg
2 Gala apples, quartered and cored

Prepare Maple Roasted Apples: In a bowl, whisk together coconut oil and maple syrup; stir in vanilla and spices. Add apples; toss until coated. Arrange apples on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, basting with pan juices once or twice, until golden. Cool slightly. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, stir together quinoa, almond milk, vanilla, spices and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until quinoa is cooked through and liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. To serve, divide warm quinoa among 4 bowls; top with apple mixture. Garnish as desired. Makes 4 servings.
