Ingredients -

• Apple - 4 (Large) / 6 (Small)

• Cardamon - 3
• Ghee / Oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cashew / Raisins - 10 each

Note - Apples has to be coarsely ground for Halwa. Since Apples tend to turn Brown soon after peeling, prepare the vessel for cooking and Mixer for grinding before cutting the Apples

1. Peel the Apple and remove the seeds. Coarsely grind them in Mixer
2. Place a vessel in stove and add the ground apples to it. Don't add Oil / water now
3. Cook the Apples with lid closed for 5 min
4. Add 2 tablespoon of water
5. Cook again with lid closed for 15 min. Stir in between
6. Add Sugar and food color when the raw smell of Apple is gone
7. Mix Sugar well with this Apple, Add cardamons and cook for 10 min. Stir continuously to avoid sticking to vessel
8. Fry the Cashew and Raisins in Ghee / Oil and add to this mixture (Add along with the oil)
9. Stir continously till it becomes slightly thick. At this point, take a bit of Halwa in a spoon and check if can be moulded. If yes, then remove the vessel from stove.
10. If you want the Halwa to be in pieces, then In a Aluminium foil, apply Oil / ghee and spread the Halwa. Allow to cool and Cut them to pieces.
11. If you prefer to eat without  making it to pieces, then you are all set to eat :)
