Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 cups milk
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 2 apples - peeled, cored, and finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups water
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.125 cup brown sugar
• 0.75 cup uncooked short-grain white rice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Mix in brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Add apples; cook and stir until apples have softened, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

Step 2

Bring water and rice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Stir 1 1/2 cups milk into rice mixture; cook until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add brown sugar and stir until well combined. Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in cooked apples, remaining 1/2 cup milk, and beaten egg. Cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract. Serve warm.
