These roasted apples are really best eaten right off the pan (I just can’t help myself), being careful not to burn your mouth, of course! But if you fancy yourself a bit more civilized, you could serve them atop a vanilla frozen dessert or along side a sponge cake for a delicious holiday treat.
Simple, roasted apples enhanced here using date syrup and cardamom (Hawaij for Coffee would be delicious here too. They make the perfect sweet treat any time.

Sure, that should be no problem, and butter would be amazing. Coconut oil should also work.
That’s awesome! Having some friends over tomorrow evening and was searching for a recipe with date syrup to go with my theme of Middle eastern cooking.. will definitely post here how it all went!
So fun!! We have lots of Date Honey recipes on this site, I can’t get enough.
HI! Made the recipe yesterday ..it was loved by everyone in the group! The combination of cinnamon and date sauce was just lovely. However, i was wondering about a few things, when i cooked it on the stove, the date sauce just liquified and despite cooking it on a high flame for a long time the finsl product was quite saucy and soft ; and not like the crispy looking pic youve posted here. So i guess we need to make some variation as in reduce the amount of date sauce if cooking the recipe on a gas stove.Either way the recipe tastes great,so no worries!
Great note, I would not have been able to predict that affect but it makes sense.
What if i don’t have an oven? Can this be cooked on the gas stove with a show flame in a flat bottom pan? Also, can butter be used instead of margarine?
what would be the best apples to use in this recipe?
Corn starch is called cornflour in Israel and to my knowledge it is a basic ingredient available everywhere.
I would ask at a spice market, they may know this spice, but google translate says it is called Hal in hebrew. Let me know.
Where can I get cardamom in Israel? What is it called in Hebrew? Anyone know?
Potato starch will work and you can probably leave it out.
I think you need a bit of fat and yes coconut oil should be okay.
sounds great. I just saw a recipe for a natural date syrup, which I would prefer, over one with refined sugar in it.
Is the fat necessary? Could coconut oil work?
Sounds wonderful and I may try it for a dessert this shabbat. Question, tho – I can’t get corn starch here in Israel (not in the North anyway). Can you suggest a substitute? Potato starch maybe? Is it essential?
