Ingredients:
- 1 cup millet
- 2 1/2 cups water or milk (or a combination of both)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra creaminess)

Instructions:

Prepare the Millet:
- Rinse the millet under cold water to remove any dust or impurities.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water or milk to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add the millet and salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the millet is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally.

Add Apples and Spices:
- While the millet is cooking, heat a small skillet over medium heat. If using butter, add it to the skillet and let it melt.
- Add the diced apple to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the ground cinnamon and nutmeg (if using). Cook for an additional minute to let the flavors meld.
-
Combine and Serve:
- Once the millet is cooked and creamy, stir in the honey or maple syrup to sweeten.
- Gently fold in the cooked apples and spices.
- Serve the millet porridge warm, topped with additional chopped nuts or dried fruit if desired.

Optional Garnishes:
- Drizzle with a bit more honey or maple syrup.
- Sprinkle with extra cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
