This Rosh Hashana dessert idea will have everyone involved, big and small.
There are certain personal traditions that show up in our homes just once a year, and that’s what makes them so special. We keep them for that particular time of year because we know that, as the children grow, they’ll remember them, cherish them, and look forward to them year after year.
These little customs are so unique to each family. For Rosh Hashanah, it might be braiding a challah in the shape of a pomegranate, placing special individual honey dishes at the table, baking our legendary honey cookies or doing something simple that becomes meaningful simply because you do it together every year.
Those are the moments that become family memories…the ones that you will hear your children hopefully reminisce about, saying “Remember when Mommy used to do xyz for Yom Tov…?”
Here’s one dessert we thought could be especially meaningful, and fun, for the little ones. It’s a quick dessert idea that can be exciting to prep together and fun to eat as well.
And it’s especially perfect for everyone who doesn’t have time to make dessert…but it’s no less special!
You will need:
Apples.
Whichever variety and color you choose is fine
Skewers.
You can pick pretty ones to make it more festive, if you like.
Dipping Sauces.
We used honey (of course), pareve caramel sauce (we used this one by Tuscanini that we loved), Chocolate Sauce (also Tuscanini).
Toppings.
We used mini chocolate chips, Lotus Crunchies (which are crushed up Lotus cookies) and shredded coconut flakes. We stayed away from any nuts since it is customary not to eat nuts this time a year.
From here on it is quite simple. Cut the apples into spears.
Insert a skewer into the apple.
Dip each skewer into a sauce of your choice.
Then into the toppings, eat and enjoy!
This dessert is meant to be eaten immediately, served at the table with sauces and toppings as one would do for a fondue type of dessert.
