Apples dipped in honey are one of the most well known symbols of Rosh Hashanah. Not only do we like to dip apples in honey to symbolize a sweet new year, but we like to make desserts out of apples and/or honey. The best is when we combine the two and that is what we did with this incredible cake.
Did you know that it’s not just apples and honey that symbolize a sweet new year? We also include beets, dates, pomegranate and more. Get more Jewish food thoughts here.

Can this be made a few days ahead? How should it be stored?
Yes it can be and is best stored in the fridge if it is a few days before, and ideally no more than 3 days.
