Ingredients Needed

- 1 large apple, diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Preparation Steps
Start by rinsing the buckwheat groats under cold water to remove any impurities. In a medium saucepan, combine the buckwheat, water or milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the buckwheat is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the buckwheat cooks, dice the apple and prepare your cinnamon. Once the buckwheat is ready, stir in the diced apples, cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the apples to soften and flavors to meld.
