Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
2 apples, diced (peeled if the skin bothers you)
1/4 cup sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup short-grain rice (arborio)
1 tablespoon flour
3 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions

1

In a deep pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the apples, half of the sugar, the cinnamon and salt. Cook, stirring, until apples are softened (about 5 minutes). Remove the apples to a bowl.
2

Put the pan back on medium-high heat. Stir in the rice and sugar.
3

Whisk the flour into the milk and slowly stir into the rice. Heat until steaming, stirring often.
4

Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes (until rice is very tender). Make sure you stir occasionally.
5

Stir in the apples and vanilla. Cool slightly and serve, or chill, and serve cold (the pudding thickens more as it cools). Sprinkle with added cinnamon, if desired.
