Apple & Cranberry Cinnamon Red Quinoa

First, rinse the quinoa a few times to get rid of any bitterness. Then, dice your apple. Add the diced apple, quinoa, and cinnamon to a saucepan on medium heat on the stove top. Next, add the orange juice and water. Cover and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes. I ended up cooking mine for a little less time since I like my quinoa a bit crunchy instead of soft. Stir it all together. After 20 or so minutes, remove the cinnamon sticks and add the cranberries and oranges. Simmer over the stove for a few more minutes. Let cool and enjoy.
