• Sugar - 1 tsp

• Water - 1 cup

• Low-fat milk - 2 cups

Procedure:

1. Take a deep-bottomed non-stick pan and add apples into it. Pour water into it and add sugar.

2. Let the apple cook for a few minutes. As apples don't take much time to be cooked, you don't need to wait for long.

5. Take out ½ cup milk and cool it down. Add corn flour into it and mix it well. Let it dissolve well.

6. You don't need to boil milk much as you usually do while making normal kheer. When you see it boiling for the first time, mix the corn flour mix into it. 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.

8. Now, take a beautiful serving bowl and pour the kheer into it. Garnish it with walnuts. Serve the dessert chilled to have the best taste.
