Tips:

  • Use fresh, unpeeled apples: The peel adds flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the rice: It should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the rice from burning.
  • Let the rice cool slightly before serving: This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Apple rice betty is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of sweet apples, creamy rice, and crunchy topping is irresistible. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight meal.
