Apple Risotto

A surprising main dish with the sharp taste of apples and cheese. The first time that I was served this by my dear friend, Claire, I couldn't get enough. I begged for the recipe, made it the next evening, and feel NO guilt over eating it all! Served with steamed asparagus and a nice crisp white wine, it is the perfect meal for friends and family.

Pour apple juice to enchance the apple flavor and put the chopped apple afterwards. You do it to maintain the crisp of the apple

Wow! This was outstanding. We would like to give it more than 5 stars. Served it as a side dish and it had to sit about 20 minutes while I was preparing the rest of the dinner. This is definitely headed to my Best of Cookbook. Thanks for sharing. -
Made half the recipe to serve as a side dish with Famous Pork Chops #376962. This was a perfect combination and made a very elegant dinner. Thanks for sharing Swedie. Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2011.
