Apples With Honey and Crushed Walnuts image

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.

Time 15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup raw walnut pieces or halves
4 Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples, or a comparable sweet-tart variety
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, plus more to taste
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons honey, plus more to taste
Olive oil, for drizzling

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.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover apples. I always have a few apples that are about to go bad, so I make this recipe to use them up. It's a great way to avoid food waste.

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. You can use any type of apples you like, and you can also add other ingredients like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. I've even made it with pears instead of apples.
