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!
