My grandmother often made rice dishes when I was young. I forgot about this casserole until I found myself one day adding the same ingredients to leftover rice. The memories came flooding back, and I've made this recipe regularly since then. -Lorna Moore, Glendora, California

Categories     Rice Sides

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 c uncooked brown rice
4 Tbsp butter,divided
2 1/2 c chunky applesauce
1 c cubed peeled apples
1/4 c packed brown sugar
1 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • 1. Cook rice according to package directions. Stir 2 tablespoons butter into hot rice. Add applesauce, apples, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, and then add salt. Spoon into a greased 2 quart baking dish. Dot with remaining butter, sprinkle with remaining cinnamon. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. Short-grain rice, such as Japanese rice or sushi rice, will give you the best results. It is stickier than long-grain rice, which will help to hold the dish together.
  • Soak the rice before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the rice more tender.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Don't stir the rice while it is cooking. Stirring the rice will release starch and make it gummy.
  • Let the rice rest before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb all of the flavors from the other ingredients.
  • Serve the rice with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fried shallots.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Apples and Rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover rice and apples, and it can be easily customized to your own taste. Whether you like it sweet or savory, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
