  2. Once its boiled, add cashewnut powder stir well keeping the flame at medium till the mixture becomes smooth paste. 
  3. Add 1 tsp ghee to the paste and switch off the flame.
  4. Take a plate , grease it with  1/2 tsp ghee and transfer the paste into a plate.
  5. Now  make small balls , use finger to make a hole and give it a apple shape.
  6. Insert clove upside down(like a apple stick).
