Apple tarator sauce is a cool, creamy dip made with apple, yogurt and walnuts. It combines the fruit’s gentle sweetness with tangy yogurt and crunchy nuts, and is served as a side or appetizer rather than as a cooked sauce.
To make apple tarator sauce, grate or finely chop an apple and fold it into thick yogurt with chopped walnuts. Add a little lemon juice or seasoning if you like, then chill briefly and stir before serving.
Apple tarator sauce goes well with toasted bread, crackers and raw vegetables as a dip. You can also serve it alongside grilled vegetables or meat; its cool, tangy taste provides contrast to warm, savory dishes.
No, apples are usually used raw in apple tarator sauce. Raw apple keeps the dip fresh and slightly crisp; finely grate or chop it so it blends easily with the yogurt without needing to cook the mixture.
Firm apples work best in apple tarator sauce because they hold their texture and release less liquid. A tart variety gives the yogurt a brighter contrast, while a sweeter apple makes the finished dip milder.
Mix the apple into the yogurt soon after cutting it to limit browning in apple tarator sauce. If you need to prep it ahead, toss the apple with a little lemon juice and keep the mixture covered in the refrigerator.
Yes, you can make apple tarator sauce ahead, but it is best to fold in the apple and walnuts shortly before serving. This helps the apple stay crisp and prevents the walnuts from losing their crunch.
Apple tarator sauce keeps for about one to two days in a covered container in the refrigerator. The apple may release liquid and the walnuts soften as it sits, so stir it before serving and discard it if it smells or looks spoiled.
Yes, you can replace the walnuts in apple tarator sauce with chopped almonds or hazelnuts for a different crunch and flavor. You can also leave them out, though the dip will lose the nutty taste and texture.
No, apple tarator sauce does not freeze well. The yogurt can separate as it thaws, while the apple releases water and loses its fresh texture; make a smaller batch and keep it refrigerated instead.

Apple tarator sauce is a Turkish-style cold dip made with yogurt, apple and walnuts, drawing on the country’s tradition of tarator sauces and meze. It balances yogurt’s tang with the apple’s gentle sweetness; the texture is creamy, with a little crunch from the walnuts.
Serve it chilled as part of a mezze spread, or alongside grilled vegetables and bread. Yogurt contributes some protein, while walnuts make the sauce richer; it provides 118 calories per 100 g. For a lighter snack, keep the serving modest and pair it with fresh vegetables.
