    Thanks for the share. This is much needed recipe. If we are using Indian Pressure cooker, do we have any count of whistles to cook? Or Just follow 11 minutes in high flame?

    Reply
    1. Richa says:

      start counting the 11 mins when the first whistle is just about to start. Cook at medium flame

      the type of apples can add or reduce color. Some red apples have a thicker red skin and more pigment, some brown faster, which would also add the caramel color and so on. Also the pictures are shot in bright light which ligthens the colors a bit.
