Recipe of the month: Apple rice

Tips: The apple rice can be further refined with cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, sugar, sour cream, or applesauce. Basically, the taste depends on the quality of the apples. Especially in autumn, windfalls can be used for this dish. Using different apples creates an interesting sweet-and-sour taste and requires neither additional sugar nor spices.

Apple rice is ideal as a warming breakfast, as a lunch that can be taken to school or work, as a dessert, or as a quickly prepared, filling dinner.
This dish offers energy for the whole day with a good mix of different carbohydrates and can even prevent autumn fatigue and exhaustion during the dark season. Spices like cinnamon or ginger have a warming effect and help with cold feet.

Preparation

  1. Cook the rice according to the package instructions for 15–20 minutes until soft.

  2. Meanwhile, wash the apples, peel them if necessary, and slice them.

  3. Heat butter in a non-stick pan, add sugar and raisins, and immediately add the apples.

  4. Briefly sauté in the butter-sugar mixture (those who prefer it tart can add a little lemon juice, or refine the flavor with a vanilla pod, cinnamon stick, or orange peel); then reduce the heat, cover, and let the apples simmer in their own juice until soft.

  5. Finally, mix the cooked rice well with the apples, let it steam a little longer, and serve.
