APPLES WITH HONEY AND CRUSHED WALNUTS
Tradition is a beautiful thing, unless it requires you to make something you don't enjoy making or eating. For me, that's charoset. Classically, it's an apple-walnut mixture (occasionally including a touch of cinnamon or dried fruit, or a combination) that ranges from chunky-relish to chunky-paste, and it's never been my favorite thing on the table. I've always wanted it tangier, crunchier and, well, I wanted a salad. This is that salad. It's meant to be more acidic than sweet, but adjust with vinegar and honey as needed to suit your preference. A note: Nearly everyone who ate this salad said it was their favorite part of the whole meal, which bruised my matzo ball ego, but I thought you should know.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spread walnuts in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast walnuts until golden brown and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. (You can also do this in a toaster oven.) Let cool. Using your hands or a knife if you like, crush or finely chop walnuts. Set aside.
- Thinly slice apples (with a mandoline or a sharp knife) any way you please. (Rounds are excellent if you don't mind eating the edible core.) Scatter the slices onto a large serving platter or bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar over apples, and season with salt and pepper; give them a little toss and drizzle with 2 tablespoons honey. Taste an apple slice and adjust seasoning with more vinegar or honey, as needed. Sprinkle with walnuts, and finish with a drizzle of olive oil, flaky salt and pepper.

APPLE AND WALNUT HAROSETH
This very classic Ashkenazi haroseth, which is a ceremonial part of the Passover Seder, is made from diced apple, toasted walnuts, a touch of cinnamon and a shower of sweet Passover wine. It's meant to represent the mortar used by the Israelites when they were slaves in Egypt. The sweeter the apples you use, the less honey you'll need to add at the end. But tart apples are nice here, too, as long as you balance their acidity. If you can't get Manischewitz or another sweet Passover wine, ruby port is a fine substitute. You can make this haroseth one day ahead and store it in the refrigerator; just mix it well before serving to reincorporate any liquid that might have seeped out of the mix.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F. Oil a baking sheet.
- Halve apples lengthwise and remove core with a melon-ball cutter or a paring knife. Melt butter in a 10-inch heavy ovenproof skillet over moderate heat and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Arrange apple halves, cut sides down, on sugar and cook, undisturbed, until sugar begins to caramelize, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and bake apples until tender, about 15 minutes.
- While apples are baking, cook remaining 1/4 cup sugar with salt in a dry 7- to 8-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, undisturbed, until sugar begins to melt, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Add walnuts, stirring to coat, then pour onto baking sheet and cool 10 minutes. Break nuts into small pieces if necessary.
- Stir together yogurt and 2 teaspoons honey.
- Serve apples, cut sides up, topped with yogurt and nuts. Drizzle with additional honey if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, sweet apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
- Prepare the apples properly: Be sure to core and peel the apples before cooking them. You can use a vegetable peeler or an apple corer to make this task easier.
- Cook the apples slowly: Over high heat, the apples will brown too quickly and not have a chance to soften. Cook them over low heat until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Add honey and walnuts at the end: Stir in the honey and walnuts just before serving. This will help to prevent the honey from burning and the walnuts from getting too soft.
- Serve warm or cold: Apples with honey and crushed walnuts can be served warm or cold. If you are serving them cold, be sure to chill them for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Apples with honey and crushed walnuts is a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. It is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. This recipe is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you serve it warm or cold, this dish is sure to be a hit.
