Apples and honey are a traditional dish served by Ashkenazi Jews on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year's Day and the beginning of the High Holidays.[1][page needed]

History

Dipping apples into honey as a celebratory dish and ceremony for Rosh Hashanah likely originated with the Ancient Israelites.[1]

Overview

Apples and honey consists of raw apples sliced and served with a separate dish of honey. A blessing is said in Hebrew over the apples and honey, to ask for a “Sweet New Year”, and the apple is then dipped into the honey and eaten.[1] Dipping apples in honey is a minhag and is not dictated by the Tanakh or the Talmud.[2]
