Allow the apples to get cooked till they become soft.
Check the apples after boiling them in water for 15 minutes. If the apples have become soft then switch the flame off and take out all the apples from water. Use the water, used for boiling the apples in making the sugar syrup. To make syrup, take the sugar in a utensil and mix 3-4 cups of hot water in it. Cook it till the sugar dissolves in water.
