Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Apples — Choose firm and slightly tart apples such as Granny Smith or Pink Lady for the best texture and flavor.
  • Ghee — If ghee is not available, you can substitute it with an equal amount of melted unsalted butter.

Tips & Tricks

  • For added texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts such as almonds or cashews on top of the pudding before baking.
  • Serve the pudding warm for the best taste and texture.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pudding, you can increase the amount of sugar in the batter.

Serving advice

Telugu-style Apple Pudding is best served warm. Top it with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to enhance its richness and creaminess.

Presentation advice

To make the presentation more appealing, dust the top of the pudding with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a pinch of cinnamon. You can also garnish it with a few apple slices or a sprig of fresh mint.
