At One Market Restaurant in San Francisco, this dish is made with sauteed apples, cinnamon sugar, vanilla ice cream on a traditional latke. “We’ve always offered up a Hanukkah menu at One Market but we wanted to think outside the box this year. After a bit of brainstorming, we developed a Festival of Latkes menu featuring eight different takes (in honor of the eight days of Hanukkah) ranging from savory to sweet. Our final latke on the menu is a dessert latke inspired by “apple pie.” Applesauce is already a common accompaniment for latkes, so we thought up an alternative way to showcase the ingredients,” said One Market Chef Mark Dommen. One Market’s Festival of Latkes menu will run from December 1 – December 23 during lunch and dinner service.

This flavor has become so popular that we bring it back every year!” said Erika Thomas, owner of High Point Creamery.
