Yield some people

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Granny Smith Apples, peeled and sliced
2 Cups Apple Juice
2 Cups Water
2 1/2 cups Arborio Rice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. cloves
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 cup butter, sliced

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients in your lined or sprayed crockpot. Cook on low for 8-10 hours overnight. Serve warm for breakfast, or separate out into individual containers for meal prep.

Tips:

  • Use the right type of rice. Arborio or Carnaroli rice are the best choices for risotto because they have a high starch content that creates a creamy texture.
  • Toast the rice before adding the liquid. This will help to develop the rice's flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid gradually. Don't dump all of the liquid into the rice at once. Instead, add it in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
  • Stir the risotto constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
  • Cook the risotto until it is al dente. The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Add the cheese and butter at the end. This will help to create a creamy and flavorful risotto.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best when served hot and fresh.

Apple breakfast risotto is a delicious and unique way to start your day. It is creamy, flavorful, and packed with healthy ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this dish at home.
