When the Passover Seder ceremony draws to a close and the feast is about to begin, charoset is the first item on the menu. It’s quick and easy to prepare, and the combination of tart and crunch never disappoints.

There are many variations for charoset ingredients — recipes can include any number of the following: dates, figs, apricots, almonds, chestnuts, pistachios, raisins — so we put our own twist on the dish by using pecans instead of the more traditional walnuts. And it was delicious!

Total Recipe Time: 5 minutes
Serves 4 guests

What You’ll Need:
3 Gala or Fuji apples
1½ cups pecans
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup of grape juice
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

What to Do:
1. Peel, core, and finely dice the apples.
2. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir.
3. Serve and enjoy!

Charoset can also be served warm. To do this, simply add the ingredients to a pan and heat.
