Here in Israel, Rosh Hashana is 2 nights and 2 days, but sometimes it feels like there are a million meals. We get together with family and friends to celebrate the new year and eat sweets non-stop. Whether it’s appetizers with honey, main dishes with silan (date honey) or an endless number of desserts, the name of the game during Rosh Hashana is sweet.
Every year I try to add a bit of variety to our holiday meals. I try new desserts, add sweets to the table, and more. But there is one recipe that I always find myself coming back to… this apple crumble.
I love the idea of making a Rosh Hashana dessert that includes apples. Here in Israel, we don’t have much apple picking, but if you do in your part of the world in the fall, this is a great recipe to use up some of the apples you’ve picked! I love serving this dish after our meal or even just as a snack while the kids are home over Rosh Hashana vacation.
It’s delicious, symbolic, and easy to make. Is there anything better for a holiday dessert?
