Nutritional Info Per Serving: N/A
6 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
2 tsp. potato starch
2 cups matzo cake meal
Dash of salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
Juice of one lemon
5 (or up to 8) apples, depending on size
Nuts, toasted and chopped (optional)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup nuts, chopped
Beat the eggs with the sugar. Mix in oil. Sift the dry ingredients and add to egg-sugar mixture, blending well to form batter.
Combine sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Peel, core, and slice apples, then add to sugar-cinnamon mixture. Mix well. DO NOT prepare this in advance or the liquid will come off.
Pour half the batter into a greased 9"x13" baking pan. Spread apple mixture on top, then pour rest of the batter over the apples and sprinkle with topping.
Make several layers of batter and apples. Can add toasted nuts to the layers of filling.
This comes from a Passover cooking class by Dee Shkolnik, given many years ago in Los Angeles. It was excellent, but a little heavy for dessert at a big meal. To avoid "having to" eat too much in a household of one person plus one feline, I do not usually prepare it for myself.
