Spinach salad with sliced apples and dates, topped with crused matzo

Apple and Date Salad

This salad is inspired by Charoset (ka-ROW-set), a chopped apple and walnut dish that is traditionally served during Passover Seder. You can substitute the walnuts for pistachios or pecans, or make it nut-free. The crushed matzo adds a nice crunch, but if you don’t have it, and aren’t making this dish kosher for Passover, you can add croutons or lightly crushed crackers.

Baked Streusel Apples

Baked apples are a favorite fall treat, but can take a long time in the oven. This recipe softens them in the microwave first, cutting cooking time in half and getting you closer to dessert.

Vampire Apples

The combination of apples and nut butter is so good it’s scary!
