Apple Cinnamon Charoset With Candied Walnuts
Hosting the Passover Seder this year? You can't go wrong with this gluten-free twist on the traditional charoset recipe. Proportioned to serve eight, it will be a hit with all your
guests.
Ingredients
Apple Cinnamon Charoset:
1 1/2 pounds Gala or Fuji apples, about 4 medium
5–6 tablespoons sweet kosher wine
1 tablespoon honey; use agave to make vegan
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice
Salt to taste
Candied Walnuts
1/2 egg white
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg
1 cup shelled, raw walnuts
Directions
Yield: 8 servings
1 - Peel and core the apples and chop finely.
2 - Place the chopped apples in a bowl. Stir in 5 tablespoons of kosher wine, honey, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and salt. Taste the mixture. If it needs more moisture or sweetness, add a bit more kosher wine, which will be soaked up as the charoset marinates.
3 - Cover the bowl, place in the refrigerator, and allow the mixture to marinate for 24 hours.
4 - Meanwhile, make the candied walnuts.
5 - Preheat oven to 300°F.
6 - Pour about half of the egg white into a mixing bowl. Whisk until frothy and beat in the sugar, salt, cayenne, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
7 - Add the walnuts to the egg mixture and stir until the walnuts are fully coated in the seasoned egg mixture.
8 - Spread the walnuts out on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a Silpat. Bake for 15°20 minutes, until crisp. Remove the sheet from the oven and let nuts cools. Pour the candied nuts onto a cutting board and roughly chop them into smaller pieces.
9 - Sprinkle candied nuts onto the charoset just before serving or serve the nuts alongside the charoset.
Note: You can chop the apples in a food processor by pulsing a few times until they're chopped finely but with texture. However, it's easy to chop too much using the food processor. You might end up with applesauce if you're not careful.
* The walnuts are intended to be a topping for the charoset. Don't mix them in. They'll lose their candied crunch.
