Apple Rice Pudding for a Rice Cooker

HappySphinx's Note:

My husband LOVES rice pudding. I like using my appliances for everything, and have taken to modifying everything I can for the appliances that do all the work. here is a really good one. My DH tends to like alot of texture in his stuff. you can leave out the apples and raisins if you prefer and it turns out just as great. NOTE: when you look in there, it may look like it is over cooking. it is an illusion. Just stir it up.

• Total Time: 1 hrs
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1 cup short-grain white rice (Carolina Gold is recommended)
• 3 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla

Directions:

1. Put the rice, salt, 3 cups of boiling water, raisins, apples, and nutmeg. in the rice maker.
2. Tell the rice cooker to 'cook'.
3. When the rice cooker says it is done or switches to 'warm', stir in the condensed milk, vanilla, and butter.
4. Tell the rice cooker to 'cook' again.
5. When it switches to 'warm' again or says it is done cooking, evaluate.
6. If there is too much liquid in your rice pudding for your preference, you can tell the cooker to 'cook' again.
7. garnish with cinnamon.

This was a nice holiday treat in between huge family meals. This makes a pretty big batch and since it's pretty heavy I'd recommend halving the recipe. Would I make it again? Probably only for the holidays with a large crowd who actively likes rice pudding. Otherwise it will mostly go to waste for me and my crowd. But it was good so at least give it a go.

I had to make this dairy free, so used coconut milk for the sweetened cond., which necessitated adding some sweetness (I figured out after I tasted it!) I just added some liquid Stevia and it was just right. I ran it through 3 cycles and it was still pretty creamy (some milk on top) so I might add a little bit more rice or less milk next time, but was still super tasty.

I loved the addition of apples to the rice pudding! This dish is delicious. The only thing I would have liked to be different is the sweetness. Even though I used about half the sweetened condensed milk called for I still found it to be too sweet for my tastes. Using a rice cooker to cook the pudding was so easy and convenient. The pudding was good both hot and fresh from the cooker and cold the next day. Made for Kittencalskitchen's Crock Pot and Rice Cooker Game.
