Yield some people

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Granny Smith Apples, peeled and sliced
2 Cups Apple Juice
2 Cups Water
2 1/2 cups Arborio Rice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. cloves
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 cup butter, sliced

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients in your lined or sprayed crockpot. Cook on low for 8-10 hours overnight. Serve warm for breakfast, or separate out into individual containers for meal prep.

Tips:

  • Use the right type of rice. Arborio or Carnaroli rice are the best choices for risotto because they have a high starch content, which helps to create a creamy texture.
  • Toast the rice before adding the liquid. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid gradually. Don't add all of the liquid at once, or the rice will become too soupy. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly, until the rice is cooked through.
  • Stir the risotto constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Season the risotto to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best served fresh out of the pot, while it is still creamy and hot.

Conclusion:

Apple breakfast risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special breakfast or brunch. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its creamy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and hearty ingredients, this risotto is sure to please everyone at the table.
