    Ingredients

    Apple - Use fresh crunchy apples for halwa. I prefer honey crisp or granny smith apples for halwa. We usually peel the skin and then use the apples.

    Sugar - We add regular granulated white sugar for sweetness. They melt and give a glossy texture to halwa.

    Cardamom powder - Adds a lovely flavor to halwa.

    Food Color - Its optional , if added gives a beautiful color to halwa. Feel free to skip if you do not prefer.

    Ghee - Gives texture to halwa.

    Nuts - Give a beautiful bite and crunch to the halwa.

    FAQ's

    Can we prepare apple halwa with condensed milk ?

    Condensed milk definitely works well and we can add it to prepare halwa. However granulated sugar gives a silky texture to the halwa.

    Can we make apple halwa without sugar ?

    If the apples are sweetener we can definitely prepare halwa without sugar. In that case we might need to add extra ghee to bring the texture of halwa.
