Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons coconut oil, divided
2 granny smith apples, diced, plus 1, sliced, divided
1 ½ cups quinoa, uncooked, rinsed well
½ cup walnuts, chopped
2 large eggs
3 cups unsweetened almond milk
½ cup applesauce
⅓ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • In a large cast-iron skillet, melt 1 teaspoon of coconut oil over medium-low heat. Add the diced apples and let caramelize slightly, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove the apples from the skillet and set aside.
  • Melt the remaining teaspoon of coconut oil in the skillet, then add the quinoa and cook until it is well browned and smells toasty, about 10 minutes.
  • Return the apples to the skillet, along with the walnuts. Stir to combine, then remove the skillet from the heat and let cool.
  • In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then add the almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the skillet with the apple quinoa mixture. Arrange the sliced apple on top in a decorative pattern.
  • Bake for 1 hour, until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
