No, you can not do that, please refer to this link: You can not test iOS app on Windows
LIMITATIONS If you are running Appium on Windows, you can use the Appium.exe client, which will allow you to quickly launch an Appium server and use the Inspector. You will not be able to test iOS apps on a locally hosted server, because Appium relies on OS X-only libraries to support iOS testing. You can however use the Remote Server option to connect to an Appium server running on a Mac.
Having said this, if you can install Mac OS within your Windows OS in virtual environment, then you will be able to do it.

One of the major obstacles with testing iOS apps is the need for iOS devices or Xcode to run the app on a Simulator. Apple doesn’t support running Xcode on any other operating system or hardware rather than macOS on Macs. When it comes to Appium tests, Xcode is also required to build, sign, provision and run a special project that operates as a driver, executing the automation.
However, with the test automation platform called TestProject, which enhances Appium’s driver, you can easily run iOS tests on a Windows operating system without the need for macOS. There’s a really nice tutorial on that here: Setup iOS Test Automation on Windows using TestProject | TestProject
