Ingredients
•
2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup brown sugar
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1 pinch ground nutmeg
•
2 apples - peeled, cored, and finely chopped
•
1 1/2 cups water
•
3/4 cup uncooked short-grain white rice

2 cups milk

1/8 cup brown sugar

Directions
1
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add ¼ cup brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg; stir. Add apples; cook and stir until apples have softened, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
2
Bring water and rice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
3
Stir 1 ½ cups milk into rice mixture; cook until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in ⅛ cup brown sugar until well combined; cook until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes.
4
Stir in cooked apples, remaining ½ cup milk, and beaten egg; cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Off heat, stir in 1 tablespoon butter and vanilla extract. Serve warm.
