Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 10 minutes. Drain pasta and set aside.
In a wide skillet, bring milk to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the pasta. Cook for about 30 minutes, until the milk reduces a bit and the pasta becomes very soft and creamy.
Set aside, add the honey and stir until incorporated. Let cool to room temperature.
As the porridge is cooking, you can start making caramelized apples. Melt butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the apples and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and brown.
Add sugar and stir until it melts, keep cooking for about a minute, then add the cinnamon. Stir until incorporated.
Pour in the cream and simmer until the sauce thickens, about a minute.
Serve pasta porridge in shallow bowl, with spoonfuls of caramelized apples on top.
Notes
Fregola is a type of Italian pasta that is similar in size to Israeli couscous. If you can't find fregola, you can try couscous instead.Caramelized apples can be prepared 3 hours ahead. Keep them covered and let stand at room temperature. Reheat (over medium heat) before serving.
