Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Simmer rice in chicken broth until all liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add mushrooms and sage; cook 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in cooked rice, garlic, apple, pepper and cinnamon.
Stuff hens with some of the rice mixture and tie their legs together with kitchen twine.
Combine salt, paprika and cayenne and season hens all over.
Transfer hens to a roasting rack set into a roasting pan and bake for 1 1/4 hours.
During the last 15 minutes of cooking, heat remaining rice mixture in a casserole dish in the oven. Serve hens hot, on bed of rice.
