Maple Quinoa Bake With Skillet Apples And Walnuts

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, divided, plus more for serving
• 4 tablespoons melted salted butter, divided
• 2 teaspoons apple pie spice, divided
• 5 cups thinly sliced apples (about 2 medium apples)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Stir together milk, quinoa, raisins, eggs, 1/4 cup of the maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the apple pie spice in a medium bowl until blended. Lightly spray an 11- x 7-inch baking dish with cooking spray, and pour quinoa mixture into prepared baking dish. Bake in preheated oven until set, 35 to 40 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add apples, and cook, stirring often to coat, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, and remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice. Cook, stirring often, until apples are tender-crisp, 5 to 6 minutes.
3. Divide quinoa bake among 6 bowls. Top each evenly with apples and chopped walnuts. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
