Recipes With Apple
Apples make for a delicious natural sweetener that adds loads of flavor and when combined with brown sugar, cinnamon, Marsala wine and other ingredients, it's an elevated treat! This Apple Rice Risotto recipe is an indulgent yet sweeter take on the classic Italian Risotto. To personalize it, use your favorite apple variety or fall favorite after going picking. If you’ve got more on hand, we suggest trying out another recipe like Raisin and Rice Mini Apple Pies or maybe a short stack of Applesauce Pancakes.
But, not only is apple a wonderful addition to desserts or snacks, it makes for a balanced combination in savory meals with Italian sausage and other rice grains, quinoa or pasta like Orzo or Israeli Couscous, also known as Pearl Couscous.
