Traditional Apple-Walnut Charoset

This is a standard Ashkenazi (Eastern European) recipe, with a little brown sugar added for depth.

Ingredients:

3 medium Gala or Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
1 1/2 cups walnut halves, lightly toasted, cooled, and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup sweet red wine such as Manischewitz Extra Heavy Malaga
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar

Preparation:

In large bowl, stir together all ingredients. Store, covered, at room temperature until ready to serve. Makes about 4 cups

Notes: For the most even texture, we recommend dicing the apples by hand. However, to save time, they can be chopped in the food processor — just be careful not to overprocess. ·Sweet kosher wine is available at www.queenannewine.com.
