Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a small metal baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Start by adding the jam, butter, thyme and salt to a microwave-safe bowl. Warm for 15-30 seconds, until butter has softened and stir to combine. Add in the pecans, walnuts and pumpkin seeds and toss to coat. Spread on the baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside to cool completely.

Use your hands to massage for 15-30 seconds until tender. Add in the brussels sprouts and quinoa and toss to combine. Top with the sliced apples and sprinkle with dried cranberries.
