Holiday Crostini with Charoset

Print Recipe
A fun & festive twist on traditional charoset – served as a crispy holiday crostini appetizer! Deliciously sweet and spiced, like a classic apple and walnut charoset for Passover. But made with prune juice instead of wine, and served on crostini toasts instead of with matzah crackers.
