Apple Rice Pudding Recipe
Description
The Apple Rice Pudding Recipe starts with cooking jasmine rice separately before combining it with peeled and diced Granny Smith apples, raisins, cinnamon, and sugar. Butter is melted and browned with panko breadcrumbs to create a toasted topping and mix-in. Milk is added to moisten the mixture, which is then spread into a buttered casserole dish, sprinkled with more toasted breadcrumbs, covered, and baked at 350°F until the apples soften.
The finished dish offers moist rice pudding with crisp breadcrumb topping and baked apples, balancing tart and sweet flavors. The cinnamon enhances warmth and depth, while the raisins add chewiness. Butter and panko provide a toasty contrast to the softer interior, lifting texture variety.
This pudding makes a comforting dessert or warm side, especially suited to fall when apples are abundant. Using toasted breadcrumbs imparts a distinctive golden crisp top uncommon in traditional rice puddings. The recipe’s notes guide cooking the rice either on stove or rice cooker to ensure the rice is tender and suitable for baking. It can be made gluten free by choosing appropriate breadcrumbs.
