3 Apple ½ cup Sugar ⅓-½ cups ( adjust as per sweetness of apple) 2 tbsp Ghee ½ tsp Cardamom powder Food color a pinch (Optional) 6 Cashew nuts 6 Raisins
Peel the skin of the apple and make it as a fine puree using a blender. Instead you can also grate the apple.
Add a tbsp of ghee and fry the cashew nuts and raisins till golden brown and set aside.
In the same pan add the apple puree and start cooking. Immediately add food color and mix until it combines.
Continue cooking till the moisture from the apple puree completely evaporates.
Add cardamom powder and mix well. Continue cooking until its dry.
Now add sugar, it starts to melt and becomes glossy.
Now add the remaining ghee and continue cooking till the halwa starts leaving the edges of the pan.
Finally add ghee fried nuts, mix well and switch off the flame.
If your halwa is sticky you can even add more ghee.
As you add more ghee the halwa become glossier and you will get the melt in mouth texture.
Adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference.
Add crispy honey dew or grainy smith apple for best taste. However any variety of apple can be used .
Apple always go well with cinnamon flavor. So you can also add ¼ tsp of cinnamon powder. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg powder too.
