Ingredients

Butter

  • 0.5 teaspoon ground pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 cups Arborio rice
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 4 cups apple cider or juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions 

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add apples, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt; cook for 3-5 minutes until apples release juices.

  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1-1.5 hours until liquid is absorbed.
  • Stir lightly, then serve warm.

Notes
