Apple Pie Rice Pudding

Ingredients

• 3 cup white rice, cooked (The recipe specifies cooked rice; the author says frozen white rice was used.)
• 4 cup milk
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp cinnamon (Used with the apples and in the pudding.)
• 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
• 1.5 cup apples, chopped
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• salt (Pinch; recipe also specifies a pinch in the pudding.)
• 0.25 cup apple granola (For garnish.)
• salted caramel (For garnish; amount not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the chopped apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a large pan over medium-high heat. Mix and cook until bubbling.

2. 2

   Lower the heat and continue stirring until the apples soften and a caramel-like mixture forms.

3. 3

   Put the cooked rice in a large pan with the milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cinnamon. Stir and let the mixture come to a boil.

4. 4

   Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

5. 5

   Lower the heat and continue stirring until the rice pudding thickens.

6. 6

   When the milk is almost evaporated, remove the pudding from the stove and let it cool slightly so it thickens further.

7. 7

   Spoon the apple pie rice pudding into cups. Top with apple granola, drizzle with salted caramel, and serve.

Notes

The ingredient list names salted caramel as a garnish but gives no quantity. Salt is listed as a pinch; the instructions use a pinch in the pudding as well. The recipe does not state whether cinnamon should be divided between the apple topping and pudding.
