Author Notes: A warm and filling breakfast (or snack or dessert) for those cool autumn days —Colleen Stem
Serves: 1
Prep time: 2 min
Cook time: 15 min
Ingredients
-
1/2
cup dried red lentils
-
1
cup water
-
1
apple (mac or honey crisp are excellent choices)
-
1
teaspoon or so of cinnamon
-
1-2
teaspoons of a sweetener like maple or brown sugar optional
Directions
- Stick water and lentils go into a pot and bring to a boil. Chop apple into pieces, some big, some small or all the same size. Once the lentils are boiling, dump in most of the chopped apple (save about 1/4 of it for later) into the pot and sprinkle with cinnamon. Stir around, reduce heat to a low and cook until the lentils are soft (about 10 minutes) Once they are cooked, taste and decide if you need sweetener. If you do, add a teaspoon or two of whatever in now and mix around then,transfer the lentil goodness into a bowl, toss on remaining apple chunks, sprinkle with cinnamon, and go to town.
