Arielle's apple & honey brisket

This take on a traditional braised brisket is made with apples and honey, which symbolize sweet things to come in the new year: Preheat oven to 325 F. Season a 3–4 lb beef brisket point generously all over with salt and pepper. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high and add 2 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, sear the brisket until browned, 5-7 minutes. Flip and reduce heat to medium-low. Nestle in 4 quartered shallots, wedges from 1 Honeycrisp apple, 6-8 rosemary sprigs, 3 tbsp honey, ⅓ c soy sauce, and 1 tsp allspice. Pour in enough water to come three-quarters up the side of the beef (about 1 cup), and bring to a simmer, 3-5 minutes. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook, covered, until the beef falls apart easily, 2 to 2½ hours. Garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or cilantro.
