How to Make Apple Cinnamon Rice Pudding

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a deep saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced apples, 1/4 cup of the sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove the apples from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
  5. In the same saucepan, stir in the 1 cup of short-grain rice and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons of flour and 4 cups of milk until smooth.
  7. Gradually pour the milk mixture into the saucepan with the rice and sugar, stirring constantly.
  8. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  9. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened, stirring occasionally.
  10. Stir in the cooked apples and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  11. Remove from heat and let the pudding cool slightly before serving.
  12. Serve warm or chill and serve cold. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon, if desired.
