The Raw Truth

Apple-Cinnamon Cup

This dish was inspired by harosset, a traditional dish made of apples, walnuts, and wine eaten at Passover. Whenever I go to a Passover seder,

I bring this dish, and it’s always a big hit.

SERVES 2 TO 4

6 seeded, soaked dates, drained

Juice of ½ lemon

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground allspice

1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

3 crisp apples (such as Fuji or Gala), peeled, cored, and shredded or cut into matchstick-size pieces

¼ cup soaked raisins, drained

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, for garnish

In a food processor, combine the dates, lemon juice, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg and process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in
the apples and raisins. Spoon the apple mixture into individual bowls or ramekins, garnish with the chopped walnuts, and serve.
