Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Optional: chopped nuts or whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the Arborio rice, milk, apple cider, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent sticking.
  4. While the pudding is cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apple and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir the cooked apples into the rice pudding.
  6. Serve warm, topped with chopped nuts or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer pudding, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of some of the milk.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
  • If the pudding becomes too thick, stir in a little more milk or apple cider until you reach your desired consistency.
