Rosh HaShanah 5774 | Favorite Recipes

This year, we'll be doing some of our favorite recipes for Rosh HaShanah!  How will YOU be celebrating with food?

iChallah (Apple Challah)

Stuffed Apple Challah

Pumpkin Challah

Pomegranate Challah

Sliced Apple Challah

This year, I made a quick experiment for a new apple challah method.

I peeled a medium-sized Gala Apple and then sliced it thin with a mandoline.  Then I prepared a sugar-cinnamon mixture (2 parts sugar, 1 part cinnamon) and dipped each slice in the mixture.

 

I did two methods to place the apple slices in between the coil of the challah.  The best result was to try to keep the coil loose, otherwise, it will pop the slices up and out as the challah rises in the oven.

The result was tasty, sweet, and slightly crispy at the top of the slices!  Yum!

Shana Tova from our bayit to yours!
