Apple halwa recipe, Without milk – Glossy, tangy

October 23, 2018 by Raks Anand 3 Comments / Jump to Recipe

Apple halwa

Apple halwa with just 3 main ingredients. Apple halwa recipe without milk or khoya. Learn how to make apple halwa recipe with step by step pictures recipe.
I have already once tried apple halwa couple of times, once from a cookbook I have. It asked me to cook grated apple in milk. When I added apple to milk, the milk curdled and it made me so upset to see the apple and milk going waste. So was not ready to try the halwa again. Again tried by referring a video which asked for 1 & 1/2 cups sugar for 3 apples, I too added same and found it too sweet, turned out burfi. Realized it could a different measure of 1 cup. So this time I tried half the sugar and got it exactly how I wanted.

I love halwa with a slight tanginess, and this really matches my needs. Was really happy with the outcome. I had lots of apples from Navarathri guests. Though I understand halwa needs only 3 apples, somehow wanted to try it out now as I had apples in stock enormously as well as I am posting Deepavali recipes 🙂 Last week it was banana, this week it’s apple. No more halwa posts, promise 😆 Apart from the fact it would be boring for you readers, the ghee and sugar already made me saturated. Not sure how I am going to proceed with more Diwali sweets posts.
Though I made banana halwa with jaggery, wanted to use sugar for apple halwa as I wanted more glossy effect.

I love the slight tanginess well balanced with sweet in this halwa. Also the apple made as halwa gives a great halwa texture.
