Apple Halwa is a scrumptious dessert. We all know a famous saying “An Apple a day keeps Doctor Away”. Such a nutrition rich fruit is apple. But I have seen many kids running away from it. So this dish is one way of making the kids eat Apple. I wont say that this is a healthier way to eat apple, but instead of fully ignoring apples, we could try this way of including apples atleast once in a while. This Apple Halwa is absolutely calorie rich dish only. I would strongly suggest to make this dish for the kids!!!

Apple Halwa, tastes much similar to our famous and popular “Irutukadai Halwa ” (Tirnunelveli Halwa / Wheat Halwa). The texture, color and taste are much similar to Tirunelveli Halwa. First time, When my husband saw this yummy dish, he thought that I have made wheat halwa. So, if you plan to surprise your family and friends with a yummy dessert, you should plan to make this delicious halwa.
