Ingredients

• 1 cup Greek yogurt

• 1 apple, chopped

• ¼ cup SIMPLi White Quinoa, uncooked

• ½ tablespoon of cinnamon

• ½ teaspoon nutmeg

• ½ teaspoon SIMPLi Peruvian Pink Salt

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

1. Combine chopped apple, brown sugar, 1/4 tablespoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt in an oven safe dish. Roast apples until soft and caramelized for about 15-20 minutes.

2. Combine quinoa with remaining cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook according to directions on package.

3. When apples and quinoa have cooled, layer in a glass with Greek yogurt. If desired, mix yogurt with cinnamon and honey for topping. Enjoy!

Apples are the perfect type of fruit for this recipe because they complement the cinnamon and nutmeg spices as well as the nutty profile of the white quinoa so well, and their sweetness also helps cut through and balance out the Greek yogurt.
