Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2½ cups half and half
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup long grain rice
- 1 apple, peeled and diced
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine the water, half and half, sugar and salt and bring just to the boiling point over medium heat.
Pour the liquid into the slow cooker. Add the rice and apple. Combine well. Cover the slow cooker.
Set the slow cooker to high. Cook for 3 hours or slightly more. The best way to see if it is ready is to taste it so you can tell if the rice is cooked and softened.
Stir in the vanilla and cinnamon.
Let the pudding rest, uncovered for 20 minutes until it is fully set.
Depending on the rice you use and the way it absorbs liquid, the pudding may need some additional stirring uncovered if it is too loose or you can add some additional half and half if it is slightly dry.
You can serve this warm or chilled.
