Till very recently Sheera for me was always to be enjoyed in its pure form or as Rava Kesari. Then I made Pineapple Sheera. This was followed by Mango Sheera and I was hooked. I am exploring classic flavours that can be incorporated into Sheera and made this Apple Cinnamon Sheera because I love Apple Pie.
I made this Sheera by first steeping the Cinnamon in warm water for about 1 hour and then using this flavoured water. This helped me get the subtle flavour of the spice without it being overpowering. Also, I cut the Apple into small pieces instead of pureeing it. The result was small bits of stewed apple spread through the Apple Cinnamon Sheera.
The result was an aromatic Sheera that was quite a hit with my family.
