How to Make Apple Rice Pilaf

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 medium apple, diced, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  2. Pour in 1/2 cup of apple juice and bring to a boil.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of long-grain rice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Add 1 cup of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option), stir gently, cover, and simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
