"Peanut Apples Sweet" Recipe

The festival season is on and I have made “Peanut Apples” for Diwali. They are made from powdered peanuts and everyday milk powder cooked in sugar syrup. The cashew mixture is then shaped into an apple and a clove is put on it. They are lightly colored using red food color. The process is quite easy does not need much attention.

Recipe Notes

The peanuts should be fresh and crunchy. If not, then you can either keep them in sunlight, roast them lightly or keep them in fridge. I have kept them in the freezer for an hour before grinding them. While grinding in the grinder just pulse three to four times. Do not run the grinder continuously otherwise this will remove the oil from peanuts and the powder will become sticky and oily. (and we don't want that !) If you are making it for the first time try using a non stick pan. It will ensure that the peanut mixture does not stick. That will make the process easier. If you find the peanut mixture getting stiff after addition of the sugar syrup, then add a tsp of water and mix it well. It will lower the temperature of the mixture and make it smooth. Even while shaping the apples if the mixture becomes dry then just add a drop of water and the mixture will become pliable again. It is always difficult to judge the proper sugar consistency when you make it the first time, but do not worry; you will get better with practice. Always cook the peanut mixture on a low flame.
