  7. Take a transparent glass. Add 2-3 Tbsp. of pineapple mixture, set it in form of a layer in glass. Then, sprinkle some sliced almonds on it. Then, add 2-3 Tbsp. of Apple mixture. Set it properly so that a layer is formed. Again, add 2-3 Tbsp. of pineapple mixture and set it well. Sprinkle little amount of raw coconut and very little amount of sliced almonds.
