    I was very prepared to love this recipe - after all, I love sweet, I love apples, I love risotto. Unfortunately I found the flavor just a bit dull. By the end I had added at LEAST 3x the amount of cheese called for and the zest and juice of a lemon. Its still okay but no one asked for seconds. For leftovers, I think I'll make risotto cakes from them or serve them with some sausage to give move flavor.

    My issue could have been that I used gala apples, which I realize have a different flavor than granny smiths. That is probably why the lemon juice pumped the dish up a bit. I also agree with another reviewer: the dish would benefit from being served with something with a lot of flavor/spices.

    We had some great sweet risotto in a famous Lahaina restaurant and this is the only one I found that captured the sweetness I was looking for and served it with a salmon with indian spices found in the everyday food section. It was a great combo. Ideal for entertaining or everyday.

    I've made a lot of rissoto's so the tang of apples in this was a nice twist on teh standard. Made it out of season for apples, so they got a little mushy. I will try again in fall so that you can better feel the firm bits of apple inside the soft rice. Husband loved it! Served it with pork cutlets and an endive salad.

    I've been making this recipe for quite some time now and each time I can't believe how good it is. Anyone I've ever made this for has aways raved and asked for the recipe. I actually subsitute whole wheat orzo for the rice.
