Fig Semolina Halva with Apple Extract is a sweet semolina-based halva made with figs and apple extract. The fruit ingredients give it a different flavour and texture from plain semolina halva.

Fig Semolina Halva with Apple Extract is a variation on Turkish irmik helvası, a home-style sweet made by toasting semolina and cooking it with a sweetened liquid. Here, figs bring fruity sweetness and soft, chewy pieces, while apple extract adds another layer of flavour. The toasted semolina gives the dessert its tender, slightly grainy texture and warm, nutty aroma.
In Turkey, semolina halva is often served warm after a meal, shared with guests, or enjoyed alongside tea; this version can be served the same way, plain or with a little cinnamon. It is an energy-dense sweet, with carbohydrates making up most of its calories. A modest portion works well as a dessert, especially if you prefer something sweet with tea rather than a larger pastry.
