Prep Time 5 minutes minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes minutes

Total Time 25 minutes minutes

Servings 4 cups

Ingredients

Rice Pudding

• 1 can coconut milk full-fat
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup apple juice no sugar added
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch sea salt
• 1/2 apple grated
• 1 cup jasmine rice or other long-grain rice
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ginger grated fresh

Spiced Apple Topping

• 1 1/2 apple thinly sliced
• cinnamon to taste
• nutmeg to taste
• ginger powder to taste
• Drizzle maple syrup optional

Instructions

Rice Pudding

• Add coconut milk, water, apple juice, vanilla, and salt to a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir frequently and bring to a light boil.
• Rinse the rice well and drain water.
• Add the rice to the boiling liquid along with the grated apple, maple syrup, cinnamon, and ginger.
• Reduce the temperature until the mixture is at a simmer.
• Cover the pot with a lid and simmer over low heat for 20+ minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid is mostly absorbed. Stir every 5-10 minutes and add a little more water if necessary.
• Enjoy warm with an apple topping or chilled paired with yogurt and nuts! I like to eat it warm once made and then eat leftovers chilled in the following days.

Apple Topping

• Add thinly sliced apple to a medium-sized frying pan.
• Add a generous sprinkling of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger powder. Drizzle maple syrup over if you are using it — I think it’s sweet enough already, but the syrup does help create a little more of a sauce for the apples.
• Stir until well-combined.
• Cook the apples over medium heat until soft and a light syrup has formed.
