Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples (crisp, sweet variety like Gala or Fuji)
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 0.25 cup Sweet red wine (such as Manischewitz)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt (pinch, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and finely chop the apples. For a finer texture, you can grate them using the large holes of a box grater.
Step 2
Place the chopped apples in a medium mixing bowl.
Step 3
Roughly chop the walnuts and add them to the bowl with the apples. If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse the walnuts in a food processor until finely crushed instead.
Step 4
Pour the sweet red wine over the apple and walnut mixture.
Step 5
Add the ground cinnamon, honey, and optional raisins to the bowl. Stir everything together until the ingredients are well combined.
Step 6
(Optional) Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness to your preference.
Step 7
Cover the bowl and allow the mixture to sit for at least an hour at room temperature before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Alternatively, refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 8
Serve as part of the Passover Seder or enjoy as a side dish during the holiday. Stir again before serving if the mixture has settled.
