Grandma’s Apples and Rice
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 35 min.
YIELD: 8 servings.
LIKE MOST women of her generation, my husband's grandmother was a "no-measure cook". This recipe of hers suffered as it was handed down, so I made an effort to work out the kinks.
Finally, my husband pronounced the results as good as he remembered, and we declared it the "official" recipe.
