Raisin Apple Rice Pilaf

This rice is yummy goodness cooked in apple juice and chicken broth.

I used to think that you had to cook rice with water. Not anymore, whenever I can I now use chicken broth, makes the rice tastier. When I first tried adding apple juice to the mix I thought it would be too sweet. No, it just delicious.

Every ingredient in this dish just comes together so well. It smells really good too.

Raisins are used in rice cooking all the time, its the apples that are different. In a pinch I will use whatever apple I have but a tart apple like a green apple or honeycrisp will hold up better. 

The additions to the rice will bulk up the rice so you will not need to cook as much rice as when you just make the rice.
