Meanwhile, thinly slice chard stems and leaves, and set aside separately.
Heat a large high-sided skillet over high heat.
Add chard stems, shallots and apples.
Cook until shallots are soft and golden, about 10 minutes.
Add vinegar and scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add dried cherries, green leaves from the chard and 1/4 cup water.
Cook until chard is wilted, about 5 minutes.
Combine quinoa with cooked chard mixture and top with toasted walnuts.
