Discover the secret twist to elevate your classic rice with apples

Sweet rice with apples is a snack for the little ones and a great idea for breakfast or an afternoon treat for adults. I know this very well because I sometimes eat it myself. Of course, the kids eagerly joined me and even helped me prepare this dish. It's a good way to eat something healthy and spend time together. And the rice with apples? What more can I say – it's delicious! Just like always.

Add to rice with apples

Despite a tried-and-tested recipe that has been in my family for decades – and I suspect in yours, too – I decided to add one more interesting ingredient to my rice with apples. These are walnuts – a treasure trove of nutrition and incredible support for brain function. Incidentally, these nuts blend perfectly with the other ingredients. Just chop them and add them to the mixture. Try it yourself – I guarantee you'll taste the difference. Enjoy!

• 6 teaspoons sugar or sweetener,
• 3 tablespoons butter + 1 tablespoon for baking,
