Cook the Rice

Start by cooking your rice according to package instructions. Aim for a softer texture which can blend well with the softness of cooked apples. If you're using leftover rice, ensure it's reheated properly.

Prepare the Apples

While the rice is cooking, peel and dice your apples into small pieces. In a separate pan, melt the butter or heat the oil over medium heat, then add the diced apples. Cook until the apples are soft and slightly caramelized.

Spice it Up

Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar (to taste) over the apples while they cook. Adjust the quantity based on your preference for sweetness and flavor intensity.

Combine and Serve

Once both the rice and apples are prepared, gently combine them together. Adjust the seasoning or add more spices as needed. Serve warm as a delightful comfort dish or cool for a refreshing side.
