Ingredients

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 3 cups almond milk, divided
  • 1 large apple, peeled and diced
  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chopped pecans for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced apples and brown sugar, cooking until the apples are softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt with the apple mixture.
  4. Add the Arborio rice to the pan, stirring to coat the grains with the apple mixture.
  5. Gradually add 2 cups of almond milk, 1/2 cup at a time, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more, stirring frequently.
  6. Once the rice is nearly cooked, add the remaining 1 cup of almond milk along with the water and vanilla extract. Continue to cook until the rice is creamy and soft.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped pecans if desired.
