Apple Rice Kugel

This is another old recipe.  I do hope we have power and I can add some of  my new dishes.

I had some leftover brown rice from a fried rice recipe.  It was not enough for a family dish but enough for a few of us. I fooled around with it until I got to a point of hope, hope that there would be a dish for us to share.  I think, the end results turned this into a kugel.

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 medium apples, peeled and diced
1/4 cup packed brown sugar or 1/8 cup honey
1  teaspoon ground cinnamon
