  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and apple or pears
  3. and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally until the

  5. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, caster sugar and vanilla. Whisk in the milk and cream, then stir in the rice.
