💰Cheaper: chopped apple

Chopped apple adds natural sweetness and moisture.

Wash the arborio rice to get rid of excess starch.

Boil the rice in water for about 5 minutes.

Rinse the rice with clean water and drain it.

In a pot, add 1.5 cups of water and a little salt; bring to a boil.

Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice and cook until tender, stirring occasionally.

Check the rice to ensure it is soft and can be pressed easily against your fingers.

Add the milk to the pot and stir constantly to achieve a creamy consistency.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and dissolve the granulated sugar in it.

Add the sugar and egg mixture to the rice pudding and stir immediately.

If the pudding is not creamy enough, add more milk as desired.

Reduce the heat and let it cook for a few more minutes.

Add about a teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir until combined.

Remove from heat and serve the rice pudding, sprinkling with cinnamon and topping with raisins.
