Apple Crumb Challah

Over the past few years we have featured many Yom tov themed challah ideas.

Everyone is of course familiar with our

Apple Challah Rolls which went viral!

Unbeknownst to me, I recently found out that this was actually an old minhag in certain communities (including mine!).

Making a sweet crumb topping for rosh hashana is a nice change from the usual savory taste.

You will need:

• challah dough shaped into even balls.
• sweet crumbs (such as the crumbs in this babka recipe)
• red food coloring
• large round flat pans
• faux or real leaves

Directions:          `

1. Arrange challah dough balls in a round pan. 
2. Add food coloring to all or just some of the crumbs.
3. Brush challah with egg.
4. Sprinkle the crumbs on top.
5. Bake
