Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium (about 1 pound) Apples
- 1 cup, finely chopped Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Sweet red wine (such as Manischewitz)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash, peel, and core the apples. Finely chop them into small pieces or grate them using a box grater for a smoother texture.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped or grated apples with the finely chopped walnuts.
Add the honey, cinnamon, sweet red wine, and lemon juice to the bowl. Stir everything together until well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or consistency by adding more honey or wine if desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. This step is optional but enhances the taste.
Serve the charoset chilled or at room temperature as part of your Passover Seder or as a sweet accompaniment to your meal.
