Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Thoroughly rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine mesh strainer, and let it drain well.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and all the water has been absorbed.
- While the quinoa cooks, in a separate bowl, toss together the sliced apricots, honey, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Make sure the apricots are well coated.
- In a small bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir together until a crumbly mixture forms.
- Spread the cooked quinoa evenly at the bottom of a baking dish. Layer the apricot mixture evenly on top of the quinoa.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apricots, covering them completely.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the topping turns a golden-brown and the apricots become tender and juicy.
- Remove from oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy this delightfully sweet and healthy treat!
