Laddus are the yummiest sweets, don’t you agree? During one of the navarathri festival days, I felt like making some laddus, but not like the regular ones. I wanted to make something new that was never made before. At that time, the mighty apples taking rest in the fruit basket caught my attention. So I wanted to give a make-over to those with a touch of sweetness. As a result, these laddus came to life! I am glad I thought of it and this recipe occupied my recipe list during parties.
Ingredients: (makes 27 medium Laddus)
- 3 big Apples (like in the picture)
- 1 can of Condensed Milk
- 1 cup desiccated Coconut
- Some Cardamom Seeds
- Some broken Cashews
- 1 tsp Ghee
Preparation:
Peel, core and grate apples. Keep aside.
In a non-stick bowl, add ghee, cardamom seeds and cashews. Stir until the cashews turn golden brown in color.
Then add the grated apples and stir well. After some time add coconut and mix well.
Finally add condensed milk and mix well. Leave the mixture on a medium flame until it thickens. Keep stirring frequently.
When the apple mixture thickens, transfer the contents into a plate and leave until it cools enough to touch.
Then take a small portion of the apple mixture and shape it into a ball. Repeat the same process with rest of the mixture. If the apple mixture is still warm to handle, in a plate take some cold milk, dip your hand in it and make the balls so that your hand won’t burn.
Roll these laddus in shredded coconut to give them good looks and make them more delicious.
Leave the laddus on the plate for some time and later store them in an airtight container.
But I have to tell you one thing here: these laddus are not hard like other laddus. These are little soft in texture, but I must say they tasted heavenly. These laddus can be stored in a refrigerator (up to 10 days) to give a long life.

Hey Uma,
I'm sure the laddus very tasty because they look so mouthwatering! I'm glad Anudivya let you know about the event and you're now sharing your delicious concoction with the Original Recipes Round-Up.
This is looks amazing... and, really innovative. I could never imagine that you could make laddus out of apples!!
Uma..you are such innovative cook!...laddos look so yummy!..thanks for the entry
Uma, pls skip my previous query, I made these yum yesterday, they were a treat! Soft and delicate flavor of apple n cardamom, the taste lingering loooong time on taste buds, after the first bite was long gone! :D Tks for this keeper recipe! (I shaped it on plate as burfi..)
hi,v.creative recipie....had som queries..Can i use plain milk and sugar instead of condensed milk...?...and how do i follow the procedure then..?...pls lemme kno....as i wnt to make these for Diwali.thanks alot in advance.
Hi Meenal!
Thanks for the sweet comments! Sorry I saw your comment just now.
Reg. your query: This is my first time experimenting this laddu. So I have to experiment again adding milk and sugar. You can use those, just do like this: Initially, add 1/2 cup of milk and 1 cup of sugar along with grated apples (3 big apples) and follow rest of the procedure. Add more sugar and milk if needed. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any doubts! And please let me know if the laddus came out good.
Thanks alot Uma...Im so v.glad to receive ur prompt reply....thanks again dear.These delicious looking ladoos are so innovative that i am tempted to try them at the earliest..I checked today but cud not find condensed milk in our nearest local store here in Denmark :( But im really lucky that uv guided me about the alternative process using milk and sugar....will surely try them right away and let u know the outcome soon..Thanks :-)
Hi Uma,I tried these ladoos with plain milk and sugar n they came out very well..thr was no problem at all..!..They look so cute and are delicious too..!!:-).I offered these to our guests yestrday n they were v.delighted.thnks for sharing this cute recipie:-)
