- 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.

- 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.
Notes
-
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.
