CLASSIC APPLE HAROSET
I found this recipe while searching for new dishes to introduce for the Zaar World Tour of 2005. With the holidays coming up, I've decided to post it though it is as of yet untried. Use the shredding attachment on the food processor to quickly shred the apples. You can also grind or chop them. Don't refrigerate more than two hours before serving or the haroset will be too watery.

Tips:
- To make sure the apples are evenly chopped, use a sharp knife and cut them into small, uniform pieces.
- If you want a smoother texture, you can grate the apples instead of chopping them.
- Be careful not to overcook the apples. They should be soft, but still hold their shape.
- If you're using walnuts, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until they're fragrant and slightly browned.
- Add the nuts and cinnamon to the apples while they're still warm. This will help the flavors meld together.
- Serve the charoset at room temperature or chilled. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
