Apple Halwa Recipe - Apple Pudding
I started this blog almost a year ago. By now, I'm so in love with my little baby blog. I'm learning something new every day. And this is my 200th post, to be precise: aย delicious Indian dessert called apple halwa.
This is a quick and easy dish. You can add khoya (evaporated milk) or condensed milk to the halwa to give it a richer taste, but I have not used any such ingredient. I'm using only three ingredients here: apple, sugar, ghee, and cinnamon powder. This is a gluten-free dessert.
The only dairy product used in this apple halwa is ghee or clarified butter. To make it completely vegan, use vegan butter.
Cinnamon powder adds a nice, sweet flavor to apple halwa. The taste of cinnamon blends nicely with that of apples, so I have added it to the dish. You can also add cardamom powder to the halwa. You are free to use as much dry fruit as you want. Also, add a bit of semolina to make semolina apple halwa or keep it pure apple halwa.
This quick recipe takes less than 15 minutes to complete. You can make this for a fasting recipe as well.

How To Make Apple Halwa (With Step-by-step instructions)?
Wash and clean apples. Scrape out the outer skin of it. Or you can leave it as it is. Remove seeds from the inner sides.
Grate it with the help of a grater.
Heat ghee in a pan and fry dry fruits first. Remove them and keep aside for further use.
Now add grated apple and saute for 5 - 7 minutes stirring in between.
If required add some more ghee on it. Keep sauteing until the apples turn soft and look caramelized.
Now add cinnamon powder, cardamom powder, and sugar.
Sugar will melt on heat and cook until it's absorbed by the halwa. Alternatively, you can also add jaggery powder to it.
Add fried dry fruits and garnish with some more dry fruits.
Serve hot or chilled as per taste.
