Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples (preferably sweet varieties like Fuji or Gala)
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 cup sweet red wine (such as Manischewitz)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Peel, core, and finely chop the apples into small, evenly sized pieces. Alternatively, you can use a food processor and pulse gently to achieve a coarse texture, being careful not to overprocess into a puree.
Roughly chop the walnuts or pulse them a few times in a food processor until coarsely ground. Do not process too finely; the mixture should retain some texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples and walnuts.
Add the ground cinnamon, honey, sweet red wine, and lemon juice to the apple and walnut mixture.
Mix everything thoroughly with a large spoon until evenly coated and combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if desired, adding more cinnamon, honey, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Haroset for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as part of your Passover Seder or enjoy as a sweet topping for matzo.
