Ghee Roasted Apples

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year based on the lunar calendar, is being celebrated around the world. As my walking buddy Teri puts it “It’s a celebration for honoring the new year and bringing some sweetness into our lives.” Rosh Hashanah is also the biblical anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve as well as the proverbial apple they first bit into. There is nothing that symbolizes the beginning of life and the sweetness of humanity more than apples, especially when they are roasted in ghee and drizzled with honey and fresh cream. Consider it one of life’s simple pleasures and this is the time to indulge.

You don’t have to be Jewish or of any faith at all to celebrate Rosh Hashanah but if you make these apples, do share them with friends or a neighbor!

Cook Time

Serves

4

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Peel, core and halve the apples. Combine them with ghee and sugar and lay cut side up on a baking pan. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the apples have some color but still maintain their shape.
Step 3
Remove them from the oven and sprinkle salt and cinnamon.
Step 4
Serve warm with honey, cream and toasted almonds.

3 Granny-smith apples

4 tablespoons melted ghee

2 to 3 tablespoons sugar


Pinch salt

Generous pinch cinnamon


3 to 4 tablespoons honey

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons toasted almonds

Notes & Variations

  • When roasting apples, depending on your oven, keep an eye on them – they can get too much color or dissolve into apple sauce if overbaked.
  • The apples are best served warm, but you can let them sit at room temperature for a few hours and reheating just before serving.
  • You may want to crank up the oven to broil and finish the apples for just a minute or two with a little more color if you desire.
