Ingredients

1.5cups Grated Apple
1/2cup Grated Coconut
1/2cup Jaggery Powder
2teaspoon Cardamom Powder
1teaspoon Cinnamon Powder
8 Cashewnuts
8 Almonds
1tablespoon vanilla essence
2tablespoon ghee
2tablespoon ghee

Instructions

Grind Almond and Cashews to a powder. Keep them aside
I usually buy frozen sliced coconut here. I place them in cold water for few minutes
Then after draining the water I grind them in a mixie. If you are using fresh coconut ignore these two steps 🙂
Heat 1/2 teaspoon Ghee in a pan
Add grated coconit and saute until the coconut turns slighty brown in color. Not too dark
Remove coconut and keep it aside
In the same pan add grated apple and saute for a minute
Add atleast 4-5 tablespoons of water and let the apples get softened
In a medium let them get cooked for 10-12 minutes. You will notice a change in color and also when you touch them it would have become soft
At this stage add coconut
Next add powdered jaggery and using a spatula mix jaggery with Apple Coconut mixture
Add a tablespoon of ghee and keep stirring the mixture
After a minute or two add cashew almond powder, vanilla essence, cinnamon powder and cardamom powder
Turn the heat to low and mix everything well
Once a thick dough like Apple Coconut mixture is formed remove it from heat
Apply ghee on a plate or in a box to shape the Burfis
I didn’t have a rectangular box so placed the Apple mixture on a plate
It will be slightly sticky. Use a knife and gently add criss cross marks
Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes. This will help in holding the shape of the burfis
Apple Burfis are ready to be served

Recipe Notes

How to make Apple Halwa :

In case if you want you can also convert this Burfi to a Halwa. Consistency is the key for any Indian Sweet. Add little milk, extra two tablespoons of ghee along with jaggery and keep stirring the mixture. You will get a sticky gooey Apple Halwa 🙂
