About Apple Cinnamon Guliyappa: Soft & Aromatic Appe with Gobindobhog Rice

Indulge in the delightful aroma and soft texture of these Apple Cinnamon Guliyappa, a unique twist on the classic Indian appe! Made with fragrant Gobindobhog rice (a special aromatic rice from West Bengal), this recipe creates a healthy and delicious snack perfect for kids (and adults!). My children absolutely adored these pillow-soft treats.
This recipe was developed in association with 'Belly Nirvana,' organized by Plattershare and PlaceofOrigin.in. I was fortunate to receive Gobindobhog rice for this collaboration.
Gobindobhog rice lends a distinctive buttery aroma and sticky texture, making it ideal for creating this unique and flavorful appe. It's a staple in many Bengali households, known for its superior quality and traditional use in offerings.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Rice Batter

  • Soak the Gobindobhog rice in 1 1/2 cups of water for at least 2 hours.
  • After soaking, blend the soaked rice, grated coconut, jaggery, and salt in a food processor until a smooth batter forms.
  • Transfer the batter to a bowl. Add the cinnamon powder and grated apple. Mix well.
  • Let the batter rest for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cook the Guliyappa

  • Just before cooking, gently stir in the baking soda (if using).
  • Heat a guliyappa/appe pan over medium heat. Mix the ghee and vegetable oil together.
  • Lightly grease the appe pan wells with the ghee-oil mixture.
  • Pour the batter into each well, filling about ¾ full.
  • Cover and cook until the appe are golden brown and cooked through. This may take approximately 5-7 minutes depending on your stovetop.
  • During cooking, spoon some of the ghee-oil mixture over the sides of the appe halfway through cooking for extra crispiness. Continue cooking, reversing if needed for even browning.

Serve

  • Once cooked, carefully remove the apple cinnamon guliyappa from the pan. Serve hot, optionally drizzled with extra ghee.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Apple Cinnamon Guliyappa

  • For extra fluffy appe, use freshly grated coconut for maximum moisture.
  • Adjust the amount of jaggery to your preference for sweetness. You can also substitute with sugar if preferred.
  • If your batter seems too thick, add a little water to adjust the consistency.
  • Don't overcrowd the appe pan; ensure each well is adequately filled without overflowing for even cooking.
