Apples are an A+ snack—sweet, juicy and nourishing. I kick the superfruit up a notch with the fiery addition of hot honey (learn how to make hot honey here) and pomegranate seeds. This dish is not only a perfect anytime-of-the-year snack but also a meaningful addition to your Rosh Hashanah celebration, symbolizing the sweetness of the Jewish New Year with apples dipped in honey. Also, the abundance of seeds in a pomegranate is thought to be connected to the mitzvahs or good deeds one will experience in the coming year. And of course, they add a burst of color and an extra layer of flavor, transforming this platter into an ultra-special treat.

NOTE: This recipe makes ½ cup hot honey. You’ll need only a few tablespoons worth to drizzle over the sliced apples, so you can store the rest at room temperature for at least several months (three or more). Use the leftovers to drizzle over chicken, eggs, or roasted veggies, spread on toast, you can even drizzle it over ice cream or pizza!
