Step 1

Wash, peel and cut apples in ¾-inch (1.9 cm) dice or wedges.

Step 2

Heat oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add cumin seeds and let splutter for a few seconds. Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and a bit of salt.

Add the apples, mix well into the spices. Fry the apples for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until evenly golden and crisp. The trick is not to stir too frequently, so that a crust can develop.

Once the apples are half done, add mexican mix, spinach leaves and cook until done.

Step 5

Sprinkle mango powder, maple syrup and additional salt if needed.

Step 6
