How to make Apple Curd Recipe

- Jaggery powder: I have picked to include Jaggery powder instead of sugar to make this recipe healthy. It is up to you and what best suit your taste buds. I would prefer to go with the Jaggery powder.
- Butter: Butter will add smoothness to your Apple curd recipe. Also, the butter will add extra flavor and bring a nice texture to the recipe.
- Lemon: Although, Apples will bring a little tanginess to the recipe. Adding a few drops of lemon juice will further enhance the taste and bring more tanginess.
- Water: To maintain consistency and smoothness
- Eggs (Optional): Eggs are optional here. You can add eggs if you like to bring more smoothness or else you are free not to add eggs.
