Apple almond kheer

20 August 2025 at 19:16
apple almond kheer

Apple almond kheer is a delightful no sugar added Indian style dessert fit for any festival. Flavoured and thickened with almond flour it is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for beginners.

I amΒ  not good when it comes to viral recipe trials. By the time I decide buy the ingredients and try it, the trend is over!
Clearly,it needs much more devotion and promptness. So that is an area we shall leave it to the enthusiastic experts. However there is one recipe I have been wanting to try and was waiting for the apple season to come. Enjoy my version of the apple kheer with no added sugar.Β 

What is apple kheer?

Made with full fat milk that’s slow cooks rice grits,Β  kheer is a must tryΒ  dessert. This is traditionally served in festivalsΒ  and grand IndianΒ  weddings. We have added a whole collection of kheer in our post- Payasam pathaman and kheer
Apple kheer a fusion dessertΒ  that embodies the idea of a kheer but has apples and almond flour to flavour and thicken. It is not a super sweet version , rather one to share at dinners or home gatherings.

Is this diabetic friendly apple kheer?

I make this with no added sugar or sweetener, just the sweetness from the apples making it a bit more on the diabetic friendly Indian dessert side. Please be aware that the apples are sweet enough, so moderate the portion size.

Ingredients to make almond apple kheer

Apple: crunchy sweet apples are the base flavour for this kheer. Personally, I like pink lady or red apples to make this kheer. I would avoid tart green apples as they can be too sour and may split the milk.

Butter or ghee:To kick off the caramelization and the colour on the apples, unsalted bautter or a small amount of ghee is helpful.You can use coconut oil if you are making it vegan.Β 

Almond flour: the almond flour gives a rabdi like feeling to the kheer. I use the blanched almond flour. If you don’t have these you can grind a few almonds or soak them and grind with the milk. Instead of almonds you can used any nuts of your preference like cashews, pistachios. Melon seeds or puffed makhana(lily seeds) powder also taste good and thicken the kheer easily.

Milk: full cream milk is best suited for this recipe. It has the right consistency and doesn’t easily split the milk when adding the sauteed apples. I would avoid almond milk to make this kheer among the plant based ones as it easily splits. You could use coconut or soy as well.

Sweetener: I have actually not added any in this recipe as the apples were super sweet and we like a mild sweetness for our kheer. You can add sugar as the milk boils. If adding jaggery syrup or maple syrup add it after you remove from heat. Alternatively date paste will be lovely in this kheer.

Spices: the common sweet spices used in Indian desserts are saffron and cardamom. I have used a few strands of saffron and powdered cardamom to finish the recipe.

almond apple kheer

Let’s make almond apple kheer

It does take a few steps to make this kheer, however, it is not a hard recipe to follow some absolutely recommend beginners to try it.

To prep the Apple: the Apple can be chopped like I have done or grated to have a smoother kheer. It is optional to peel the apple as this will be all about mouth feel. I leave the peels in as it gives a good bite.Β Once prepped add the apples to a pan with a touch of unsalted butter. On a low heat let this mix cook down and caramelize. Ensure that this is a low heat process. You can cover the apples for a minute if you feel they are dry. This captures the water from the juices allowing the apples to steam.

Boil the milk: in a separate sauce pan,Β  boil the milk. As it bubbles and boils, stir in the almond flour.
Thicken the milk the almond flour is the thickening agent. When the milk has started boiling and rising a bit, lower the heat to a simmer. Sprinkle the almond flour on the boiling milk. Stir well ensuring it is lump free. Let this cook down for about 5 to 6 minutes with stirring in between.

Add the apples: add the cooked apples into the mix and mix well. You can take off the heat at this point.

Flavouring the kheer: sprinkle cardamom powder and a few kesar strands and mix well.Β  At this stage my kheer is done. If you prefer to add sugar or jaggery syrup do so at this stage and mix well.

  • You can serve the warm kheer at this point or cool and chill for later.

Is this a vegan kheer?

If you are using plant based milks the recipe can easily be turned vegan. Coconut milk or soy tastes good. For sauteeing and caramelizing the butter, coconut oil is best.Β 

Can we make this with other fruits?

Of courseΒ  you can change the fruits to make a variety of kheer. Mango ,jackfruit or plantain banana will be my first choice.
You can try dates and dried figs too. When using sweet dry fruits adjust the sugar accordingly.

Kavuni arisi Sakkarai pongal

24 July 2025 at 21:58

Kavuni arisi Sakkarai Pongal – Karuppu kavuni arisi sakkarai pongal – Traditional South Indian sakkarai pongal made using black rice with step by step pictures and short video

Karuppu kavuni arisi is known for its health benefits. It has a unique purplish hue and is very rich in nutrition. We usually make sakkarai pongal using raw rice or sometimes with millet, samba wheat, or aval. I have posted Kavuni Arisi Curd Rice recipe on my Instagram page and YouTube channel.

Kavuni arisi is usually soaked overnight before cooking, as it has a hard texture. But in this recipe we are pulsing the rice into kurunai and cooking it immediately. The rice gets cooked in this way, without soaking. This recipe is similar to the popular Chettinad Kavuni arisi sweet.

I have posted a recipe for kavuni arisi payasam, and I even made it for a big group of guests a few months back. It was a huge hit among the guests. It is long overdue to post karuppu kavuni arisi dosai and appam on jeyashris kitchen. Do try this Karuppu kavuni arisi sakkarai pongal for neivedyam and let me know how it turned out.
