Prepare the crust by combining flour,
brown sugar, and salt together in small
bowl.
Beat the margarine into the flour
combination until it begins to feel
crumbly. Then add olive oil and egg
yolk until just combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk egg
whites until they form stiff white
peaks, then beat into the crust mixture.
Form crust into a ball. It might feel a
bit crumbly, but that’s okay. Just force
all the crumbs together to create a
solid ball. Cover bowl of dough and
refrigerate for at least 2 hours before
continuing.
When dough is done resting: spray 25cm
round baking pan and roll dough with a
rolling pin to cover the bottom and sides
of the pan. If you don’t have a Pesach
rolling pin, you can cut the dough into
chunks and flatten them with your hand.
The dough is very “giving,” so you can
combine the patches of dough very
easily with your fingers.
½ cup dates (chopped)
½ cup walnuts (chopped)
1/3 cup sweet, red wine
2 Tablespoons olive oil
5 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt and pepper
2 large eggs
Serves 8-10
6. With a fork, prick the pie crust and
refrigerate uncovered for another 1520 minutes.
7. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and
bake your pie crust for 15 minutes.
8. Start making the filling by slicing
your apples into thin slices. Cover the
bottom of the pie crust with one layer
of apples. Sprinkle half of the dates
and walnuts over the apples.
9. In a small ball, combine the red wine,
olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt
and pepper. Beat the eggs and add
them to the bowl.
10. Pour about 1/3 of the red wine
mixture over the fruit and nuts.
11. Fill the pie crust with the remaining
apple slices, creating a circular pattern.
12. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts and
dates over the apples before pouring
the rest of the red wine mixture
evenly over the pie.
13. Bake your Charoset Pie for about 30
minutes or until the apples seem
baked through and there is no more
visible liquid.
