Pour it in a serving bowl and garnish it with thinly sliced Apple, 3-4 slices, Cranberries, Flaked Almonds and Pistachios. 
Let it cool. 


How to make Caramelised Apple - 

In a non-stick pan, add thinly sliced and peeled Apple, add 1-2 drops of water and sprinkle 1 tsp sugar or more as needed and mix in well.
