Place the raisins or dried cranberries in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
Add the sliced apples, cinnamon, and grape juice to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture a few times until the apples are finely chopped. Be careful not to overprocess—the apples should be chopped but not turned into a liquid.
Serve on top of matzo or alongside your favorite Passover dishes.
Notes
Charoset is typically eaten during Passover, but this version can be enjoyed any time as a sweet, healthy side dish.
Adjust the sweetness by using more or less grape juice or raisins based on your preference.
