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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples and walnuts.
Step 4
Add the ground cinnamon, honey, sweet red wine, and lemon juice to the apple and walnut mixture.
Step 5
Mix everything thoroughly with a large spoon until evenly coated and combined.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if desired, adding more cinnamon, honey, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Step 7
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Haroset for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve chilled or at room temperature as part of your Passover Seder or enjoy as a sweet topping for matzo.
