Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and melted butter (2 tablespoons). Stir well to evenly coat the rice.
In another mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice and 1/4 cup of brown sugar to coat them. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and melted butter (2 tablespoons) to create the crumb topping.
Layer half of the rice mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread half of the apples over the rice layer, followed by a drizzle of 1/4 cup of water.
Repeat the layers with the remaining rice and apples, drizzling the remaining 1/4 cup of water over the final apple layer.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top to create a crumbly, crispy layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
