- Charoset is one of the symbolic foods on the Passover Seder Plate. After reciting the blessings, and eating a matzah "sandwich" combining charoset and maror, the remainder is often eaten plain, spread on matzah. This traditional dish—essential at every Seder ceremony—combines chopped apples, raisins, and walnuts in a sweet, red sauce.
But you can enjoy this inexpensive treat anytime. It's so simple to make and keeps well in the refrigerator for a quick snack. Packed with nutrients, this is a sure bet to keeping a health lifestyle.
3 medium apple, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts, toasted
2 tbsp. grape juice
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Spread walnuts on a baking sheet. Bake 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl, toss apples and walnuts with grape juice. Mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over apple mixture and toss to combine.
