For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding the sugar and spices. A splash of heavy cream at the end will make the pudding even richer. Serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added decadence.
Indulge in the comforting embrace of this Apple Rice Pudding, a delightful marriage of creamy rice pudding and the warm, spiced flavors of apple pie. A truly soul-satisfying treat!
In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Stir until fragrant. (2 minutes)
Add the diced apples to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and slightly caramelized. (8-10 minutes). Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of water and rice to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. (approximately 20 minutes).
Stir in 1 1/2 cups of milk into the cooked rice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is hot, stirring occasionally. (2-3 minutes)
Add 1/8 cup of brown sugar and stir until well combined. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency. (15-20 minutes)
Gently stir in the cooked apples, remaining 1/2 cup of milk, and beaten egg. Cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding is heated through and slightly thickened. (2 minutes)
Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and vanilla extract. Serve warm.
