Rice porridge with apples is a delicate and aromatic dish from Ukrainian cuisine that combines the softness of boiled rice with the natural sweetness of caramelized apples. This recipe carries the coziness of a village home where simple ingredients turn into a true delicacy. The combination of butter, vanilla, and sugar creates a special depth of flavor, while the layered structure makes the dish surprisingly rich. The porridge is perfect for breakfast or a light dinner and can be served as a standalone dish or complemented with nuts and honey. The taste of baked apples with subtle notes of vanilla and melted butter gives a feeling of warmth and homely comfort. It is especially good in cool weather when you want to warm up with something truly comforting.
