Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Sweet apples (e.g., Fuji or Gala)
- 3 medium-sized Tart apples (e.g., Granny Smith)
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Cardamom powder
- 30 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, or pistachios)
- 120 milliliters Water
Instructions
Peel, core, and grate the sweet apples and tart apples into separate bowls. Keep them aside.
In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the all-purpose flour to the pan. Stir continuously for 3-4 minutes until the flour turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma.
Gradually, add the grated sweet and tart apples into the pan. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples start softening and releasing their juices.
Stir in the granulated sugar and cardamom powder. Mix well to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Reduce the heat to low and add water in small increments, stirring continuously. Cook the mixture for 10-15 minutes until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
In the final 2-3 minutes of cooking, add the chopped nuts and stir them in evenly.
Transfer the halva to a greased plate or mold. Spread it evenly with a spatula and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
Cut into desired shapes (square or diamond) and serve warm or at room temperature.
