The bones of this dish came from a recipe my mom sent me for this dish she totally loves with pork, turkey, brunch, etc. She is a fan of shortcuts (and aren't we all after one of THOSE days) and uses canned fried apples.

How to make it
- Cook orzo according to package directions. Strain and rinse with warm water.
- Meanwhile, peal and chop apple into even, bite sized cubes if using.
- Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium high heat and add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to taste. Fry apples 15-20 minutes or until they reach desired doneness (I find they work better if still slightly crisp in the center).
- Gently toss apples, cranberries, and nuts with cooked orzo.
- Combine cinnamon, herbs d provence, condensed sweetened milk, and vanilla extract. Pour over pasta mixture and toss lightly to coat.
- Enjoy warm or room temperature.
