Stir while mixing it, so that no lumps are formed. Now, add dates into the milk and stir continuously. Also, try to smash the dates with the help of a ladle, so that the aroma of the dates mixes well with the milk. Cook it on low-medium flame for 5-10 minutes and stir non-stop.

7. Now, turn off the gas oven and let the kheer be cooled off. Take it into a bowl and add apples and sugar substitute into it. Mix everything well.
