One apple and honey galette recipe is all you need to make your Rosh Hashanah table perfect this year.

The Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the New Year on the Jewish calendar. To sweeten the New Year it is traditional to eat apples and honey and round foods which signify the annual cycle. To kick off the High Holidays, my family has a couple of big meals with friends and family and this year I am making this apple and honey galette. Apples are not only important to the Jewish New Year, but they were part of my family history long before Judaism came into my life, when I met my husband.

Growing up with apples growing all around us, they were a staple of our diet and also begged for experimenting with different recipes. This is one of my favorites and is an easy dessert to whip up before the holiday–and you only need two apples! You can really use any kind of soft cheese, but I used brie. Serve it warm or at room temperature. Bookmark this apple and honey galette recipe because you’ll be coming back to it again and again.
