A Hilton Tel Aviv Style Apple Tart for Rosh Hashana

A HILTON TEL AVIV STYLE APPLE TART FOR ROSH HASHANA

Lekach, or Jewish honey cake  is one of the symbolically significant foods traditionally eaten on Rosh Hashanah in hopes of ensuring a sweet New Year. However the apple with honey is another traditional food popular in this holiday, as the apple symbolizes Gan Eden (the Garden of Eden) and the honey is a taste of sweetness. 26 years old Dor Brawn, the Pastry Sue Chef of Hilton Tel Aviv combined them both. So how about something different to surprise your family and guests this year, like Hilton Tel Aviv guests will be surprised in the coming Holiday.
