Apple Kheer

Method : 


 Dissolve saffron in 2 tsp lukewarm milk and keep aside. 
 Peel, core and dice the apples. 
 Put the apples in a Kadhai or Wok. 
 Add sugar and stew over medium flame, stirring constantly – but gently (to prevent the apples from getting crushed), until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid has evaporated. 
 Remove and cool. 
 Boil milk in a heavy bottomed pan, reduce to low flame and simmer until it reduces to 2 ½ cups (600 ml). 
 Add saffron, cardamom and stir. 
 Remove from the gas flame. 

 When warm add the stewed apples and stir. 
 Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate. 
 Serve chilled garnished with the nuts and apple slices. 

Tips or Variations : 
 You can use grated carrot or grated bottle gourd instead of apple.
