Apple Halwa Recipe

Ingredients

Apple Halwa

• 4 Apples, peeled, chopped and grated
• 2 tbsp Ghee or Brown butter
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1/4 tsp Cardamom powder
• 1/4 tsp Cinnamon powder
• 1 tbsp Cashews (optional)
• 1 tbsp Almonds (optional)
• 1 tbsp Raisins (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat ghee in a pan on medium heat. Add cashews and almonds and saute just till it becomes light. Add raisins. Saute for few seconds. Transfer this to a plate and keep it aside.
2. In the same pan add grated apples and sauté till juice from the apple is released and then evaporated completely.
3. Now add the sugar and continue to sauté. Once the sugar is added, the mixture loosens up and appears moist. Continue to cook till the liquid evaporates.
4. Add cinnamon powder, cardamom powder, and mix. Cook for 1 more minute.
5. Finally, add the roasted nuts and switch off the flame.
6. Apple Halwa or Apple Pudding is ready. Serve hot or cold, with a scoop of ice cream if desired, and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

• You can reduce the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the apple.
• For flavourings, you can add vanilla extract, a pinch of nutmeg, etc.
• If you like it dark brown or orange, add a pinch of saffron food colour.
• Use any combination of dry fruits and nuts.
