In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cooked rice, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the mixture begins to thicken and becomes creamy.
While the rice pudding is simmering, prepare the spiced apples. In a small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the diced apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, and water to the skillet. Stir well to coat the apples evenly with the mixture.
Cook the apples for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy. Remove from heat and set aside.
If you are adding raisins, stir them into the rice pudding during the last 5 minutes of cooking to allow them to soften.
Once the rice pudding reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. The pudding will thicken further as it cools.
To serve, spoon the creamy rice pudding into bowls and top with the warm spiced apples. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream.
Enjoy your Stove Top Apple Rice Pudding warm!
