• ½ cup ghee (clarified butter)
• 1 cup sugar (modify according to taste)
• Almonds slivered
• Cashew nuts chopped
• 2 green cardamoms
• 1 tsp cardamom powder
• ½ tsp Kewra essence or Rose water

Peel off and grate the apples. Heat ghee in heavy based pan.
Add seeds of green cardamoms. Fry for a few seconds.

Add grated apples and fry on medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
Stirring all the time, until almost tender and ghee leaves the side of the pan. Add sugar and cardamom powder.

You should stir the mixture frequently to prevent any sticking.

Fry for 10-15 minutes until nearly all the water has evaporated.

Heat 2-3 tbsp ghee in a small pan and fry nuts in it. Add this to apple halva. This gives glazing and flavor to halva.
