This comforting brown rice pudding has become one of my favorite ways to use up apples and pears from the farmers market. Brown rice is such a nutritious base, packed with fiber that keeps you satisfied, and it transforms into something wonderfully creamy when simmered with milk. The best part is how simple this is to make, with just one pot and about ninety minutes from start to finish. A touch of cinnamon and vanilla rounds out the flavors beautifully, making it feel like a special dessert even though it fits perfectly into a healthy eating plan. Your family will love it.

Instructions
- 1
Place powdered milk in a large heavy sauce pan, add about 1 cup of milk and whisk to form a slurry. Add remaining milk and continue to whisk. Place the milk mixture over medium high heat adding cinnamon sticks or vanilla bean, rice and salt. (If you are using the bean, use a knife to cut a lengthwise slit across the bean so that it releases the seeds into the milk.) Bring just to a boil, do not let the milk scald, and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook for 60-70 minutes, stirring occasionally. At the end of the hour the milk should be almost fully absorbed, about three quarters gone.

Stir in the sugar, vanilla (if using cinnamon sticks), nutmeg and three quarters of the fruit continuing to cook another 15 minutes. The rice pudding mixture will continue to thicken which is good.
