2 Kind Apple Halva Recipes

APPLE HALVA LOAF CAKE

After trying Ottolenghi's walnut halva cake, I knew I needed to bake more with halva. It's utterly delicious. I adapted this apple cake recipe to include halva, plus tahini for good measure.

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Add apple and halva.
Whisk melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, brown sugar, tahini, and vanilla extract together in another bowl. Fold into the flour mixture.
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Tent with foil after 30 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

APPLE CRUMBLE WITH HALVA TOPPING

Plain sesame halva makes a delicious topping for fruit crumbles or crisps. There is no need for any additional sugar or butter since halva is already sweet and contains fat. The topping will be soft after baking but gets nicely crunchy as it cools so it's best served after cooling. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch or 9-inch baking dish.
Mix together apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Evenly spread fruit in the prepared baking dish.
Mix halva, oats, flour, and salt to a crumbly consistency. Sprinkle over the fruit and cover with aluminum foil to prevent top from browning too quickly.
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and well browned, about 45 minutes. Let cool to allow the topping to harden.
