Once soft, add the other tablespoon of butter, push the apples and onions to the side, and add rice. Toast rice for about 1 minute, then add wine. Cook over medium-low heat until rice absorbs wine, then add chicken stock about 1 cup at a time, following the same rule. Stir constantly, making sure nothing is sticking to the bottom.
