Ingredients

• 2 medium apples
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup sugar
• 2 cups cooked rice
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

Step 2

Peel and core the apples, then chop them into small cubes. Sprinkle them with lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the apple cubes and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cook and stir occasionally for about 5 minutes until they are tender. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Step 5

Add the cooked rice to the flour mixture, stirring to combine evenly.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil.

Step 7

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 8

Fold the cooled apple pieces into the batter evenly.

Step 9

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 12

Serve the Apple Cinnamon Rice Cake warm or at room temperature. It's delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
