GRANDMA'S APPLES AND RICE



Grandma's Apples and Rice image

LIKE MOST women of her generation, my husband's grandmother was a "no-measure cook". This recipe of hers suffered as it was handed down, so I made an effort to work out the kinks. Finally, my husband pronounced the results as good as he remembered, and we declared it the "official" recipe. -Joan Kasura, Silver Spring, Maryland

APPLE CINNAMON RICE PUDDING



Apple Cinnamon Rice Pudding image

This came from the milk calendar. Make sure you use short grain rice for this recipe to get a creamy pudding. The long grain rice won't cook properly and the pudding won't thicken. The apples and cinnanmon are a nice change from plain rice pudding.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon butter
2 apples, diced (peeled if the skin bothers you)
1/4 cup sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup short-grain rice (arborio)
1 tablespoon flour
3 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Put the pan back on medium-high heat. Stir in the rice and sugar.
  • Whisk the flour into the milk and slowly stir into the rice. Heat until steaming, stirring often.
  • Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes (until rice is very tender). Make sure you stir occasionally.
  • Stir in the apples and vanilla. Cool slightly and serve, or chill, and serve cold (the pudding thickens more as it cools). Sprinkle with added cinnamon, if desired.
