Ingredients
- Arborio rice
- 1 cup
- Milk
- 4 cups
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Fresh apricots
- 4, diced
- Brown sugar
- 1/4 cup
- All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup
- Rolled oats
- 1/2 cup
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.
- In a separate large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until foamy.
- Add the Arborio rice to the melted butter, stirring for about 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
- Gradually add the simmering milk to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly. Wait until the liquid is absorbed before adding more milk. Continue this process for about 20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.
- While the risotto is cooking, in a separate bowl, combine the diced apricots, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- In another bowl, mix together the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and salt to create the crumble topping.
- Once the risotto is cooked, remove from heat and gently fold in the apricot mixture until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the risotto to individual serving bowls and generously sprinkle the crumble topping over the top.
- Place the bowls under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Serve the Apricot Crumble Risotto warm, savoring each comforting bite.
Tips
- For an added depth of flavor, consider toasting the rolled oats lightly before mixing them into the crumble.
- Feel free to substitute apricots with other seasonal fruits such as peaches or plums for a delightful variation.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
