Apple Risotto with Cinnamon is a recommended dessert for children. It’s a perfectly healthy dish that children will love. It’s warming and perfect for autumn evenings. Don’t worry because risotto is a very easy dish to make.
How to choose the best ingredients for Apple Risotto with Cinnamon
Apple juice: for the most delicious apple juice, seek out varieties that are freshly squeezed and have a short shelf life, rather than those made from concentrate. If you have a 500 ml bottle of this high-quality juice and are uncertain about drinking it all at once, simply add less sugar to preserve its fresh taste for longer.
Sugar: you can use natural sweeteners like xylitol, erythritol, or stevia instead of sugar. Keep in mind that you’ll need different amounts because stevia is sweeter and erythritol is less sweet than regular sugar. While xylitol is a healthy option, it’s best to limit the intake to three teaspoons per day to avoid potential digestive issues.
If you’re okay with sugar, you can use whichever type you prefer, or simply use what you have in the kitchen. Any type of sugar will work, but if you use brown sugar, it may give the dish a slightly different caramel-like taste.
Rice: There are two most popular varieties of risotto rice: Arborio, which has excellent liquid absorption properties and produces a relatively good, creamy risotto, and Carnaroli, which is whippy, has more starch, and produces an even better creamy risotto.
Apples: the sweet wine variety is the best for this recipe.
Cinnamon: I don’t need to advertise the combinations of cinnamon and apples. However, apart from its taste, cinnamon also has other health properties. It is recommended for lowering blood sugar and is also an excellent warmer.

- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1-2 tbsp sugar

- Add the cinnamon.
- Mix the apple juice with hot water and keep it warm all the time.
- Add this warm juice to the rice in one portion (I add one spoonful each)
- The apple juice must be kept warm all the time so that the process of swelling of the rice is not interrupted.
- After the first spoon, add the peeled and grated apples.
- Add the raisins (optional)
- We mix and wait until the delicacies are boiled. The juice will come into the rice. When the dish becomes thick, add another tablespoon of rice until all the juice runs out.
- Finally, add the butter and mix with the rice. Remove from the burner and leave it covered for about 10 – 15 minutes until the rice settles.Enjoy your meal!
