Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Risotto image

I'm not a big fan of oatmeal or cream of wheat, but this is a great hot cereal alternative for breakfast. I eat it with a little bit of 1/2 & 1/2.

1 1/2 c aborio rice
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed

1 tsp vanilla extract

Tips:

Use fresh, crisp apples: This will give your risotto the best flavor and texture.
Don't overcook the rice: Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, with a slight bite to it.
Stir the risotto constantly: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a creamy sauce.
Add the cinnamon and sugar to taste: The amount you add will depend on your personal preferences.
Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
