Peel, core, and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Rinse quinoa thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa, water, and chopped apples. Bring to a gentle boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until quinoa is fluffy and apples are softened.

Stir in cinnamon and drizzle with honey if desired. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Customize with toppings like nuts or yogurt for extra flavor.
