How to Make Apple Onion Rice

  1. Rinse 1 cup of long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups apple juice, 1 cup water, and 2 tablespoons margarine.
  3. Add 1 packet (1 ounce) of dry onion soup mix to the saucepan.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  5. Stir in the rinsed rice.
  6. Give it a good stir to ensure the rice is evenly distributed and coated in the liquid.
  7. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
  8. Reduce the heat to low, maintaining a gentle simmer.
  9. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  10. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving.
