While rice is cooking, prepare the chestnuts. Cook chestnuts in a 4 quart saucepan in water to cover. Bring water to a boil and reduce heat to medium; cook for 10 minutes. Remove the chestnuts to a chopping board, cut in half and scrape out the meat. When rice is cooked, stir in the cooked apple and chestnut meat.
