Apple Halwa – Easy Halwa Recipes

Apple Halwa – Yes! This was in my to do list since a long time. But did not get a chance to make it. Last week had a pooja at home. Was left over with a lot of apples. Was really wondering what to make and suddenly remembered this. So made this super-yummy Apple Halwa. Alright! A few tips to select apples for this halwa. Make sure the apples are juicy and sweet. Green Apples would definitely not work for this halwa. If at all u end up buying some sour/tart apples, try this Apple Thokku then 🙂 Hehe U have an option to pick between sweet or spicy!

Here is the video…

Now to the recipe…

[Preparation Time-10 mins : Cooking Time- 25 mins]

Apple Halwa Ingredients:

• Apple – 6 (Check tips)
• Sugar – 2 heaped tbsps (Check tips)
• Ghee – 2 tbsp
• Cardamom powder – a generous pinch
• Almonds – few
• Walnuts – few

Method:

• Take the apples and wash it. Peel it, de-seed it and grate it. It will change colour when exposed. This is totally normal.

• Heat a pan with ghee and add the grated apples. Mix well and cook covered for about 10 mins. It will become soft and mushy.

• Add sugar to it and mix well. It will become watery first and then thicken. Add cardamom powder & broken nuts. Mix well, it will start leaving the sides of the pan. This is the right stage. Switch off.

Thats it! Apple Halwa ready!

Serve warm or cold!

Tips:

1. Choose sweet & juicy apples. Sour, tart or green apples will not work for this halwa.
2. Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of the apples u use. Mine were really very sweet, so just added 2 tbsps.
3. U can also skip sugar if u dont want and make it just with the sweetness of apples.
4. U can add cinnamon powder instead of cardamom powder.
5. Adding food colour is an option. I have not used though.
