Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
• 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 0.75 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and melted butter (2 tablespoons). Stir well to evenly coat the rice.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice and 1/4 cup of brown sugar to coat them. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and melted butter (2 tablespoons) to create the crumb topping.

Step 5

Layer half of the rice mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Spread half of the apples over the rice layer, followed by a drizzle of 1/4 cup of water.

Step 7

Repeat the layers with the remaining rice and apples, drizzling the remaining 1/4 cup of water over the final apple layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top to create a crumbly, crispy layer.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Step 10

Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
