Apple halwa is made with just two basic ingredients:

 apple and oats.

 I learnt this recipe from my grandmother and

 it can be made in a jiffy.

What you need :

Oats: 1/2 cup

Freshly grated apple: 1 cup

Sugar: 1 cup

Ghee: 2 tbsp

Orange food colour (optional): a pinch

Cardamom powder (optional): 2 pods

Cooking instructions:

Heat a kadai and add ghee.

Roast the oats first for a few minutes and then add the grated apple.

Fry for a few more minutes and then add 1/2 cup water.

When the oats are cooked add the sugar.

Boil first and then let simmer. Add the food colour.

Cook till the mass leaves the sides of the pan.

Garnish with ghee-fried cashews and cardamom.
