Apple kimchi is a slightly milder, fruit-forward variation on the classic Korean delicacy. Thanks to the addition of apple, the heat of the fermented vegetables is balanced by the delicate sweetness and freshness of the fruit, giving the whole dish a more balanced, refreshing character. It’s an ideal recipe for those who like to experiment with traditional formulas and are looking for a lighter version of this popular ferment. It works great as a side for rice dishes, grilled foods, or simply as a healthy snack.
