My mother still makes the best rice pudding with apples! Once it's ready it smells and tastes too good :)
.
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Place the rice, milk, vanilla pod and vanilla seeds in a pan. Stir it around and cover with a lid.
Bring it to a boil on a medium heat. Do not open the lid from now till the end of cooking the rice. Let it cook for 15-20 min, until all milk disappears.
In the meantime prepare the apples by cutting them into smaller pieces. Place them in a big pan, add sugar and cinnamon. Fry them untill nice and soft in around 15-20 minutes.
Butter you ovenproof dish, spread half of the rice on the bottom of the dish, then the apples evenly on top of it and a rice layer on top.
Cut the butter into thin slices and arrange these on the top of the rice, cover it with a lid.
Bake it for 40 minutes
Serve with some greek yogurt. Enjoy!
