Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8 or 9-inch baking dish. In a bowl, combine the apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then spread this mixture evenly in your prepared dish. Next, mix together the halva, oats, flour, and salt until it forms a crumbly topping. Sprinkle this over the fruit, then cover the dish with foil to keep the top from browning too fast. Pop it into the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, until it’s bubbling and nicely browned. Let it cool a bit so the topping can firm up before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This dessert combines the warm sweetness of baked apples with the rich, nutty flavor of halva. The contrast of soft fruit and crumbly halva creates a unique texture that is both comforting and exciting. It’s a great way to enjoy a traditional treat with a fresh twist.
How to serve
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. This dessert also pairs well with a cup of strong black coffee or spiced tea, enhancing its nutty and fruity flavors.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the halva layer soft and the apples warm without drying them out.
