Ingredients
Directions
Peel, core and dice the apples, add them to a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
Toast the nuts: In a saucepan, on medium-low heat, lightly toast the almonds and walnuts until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Occasionally toss them to prevent the nuts from burning. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Once cool to the touch, finely chop the nuts into bite-sized pieces.
Add the nuts, raisins, date paste, organic grape juice, and cinnamon to the apples and stir until well combined.
Cover and let sit for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Additional Notes
Charoset is considered to be a sweet relish, and there are many ways to make it. To achieve the consistency and texture you enjoy, you may chop the apples, nuts, and raisins as fine as you’d like. Alternatively, you may shred the apples with a box grater or the grater attachment from a food processor to get a finer and more paste-like texture overall.
If enjoying this recipe during Passover, substitute grape juice with Manischewitz wine or your favorite sweet red wine, if your dietary lifestyle permits.
Storage
