I am always looking for something different to cook over Passover that is quick and tasty to make. I find that Apple recipes are always popular, especially if they are parev and can be made in advance. This recipe is similar to apple clafoutis, a cake mixture cooked in an egg and matzah meal batter. Pears and fresh apricots could be substituted should you prefer.
Note that this recipe has the advantage of being Nut Free. At Pesach, I feel especially sorry for anyone with nut allergies, because so many recipes, whether sweet or savoury, use nuts. Serve this recipe in squares and it is delicious for tea or as a dessert during Passover

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Makes: 16 squares

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon margarine – to grease the tin
1/2 teaspoon salt
120ml /1/2 cup vegetable oil
200g/1 ¼ cups fine matzo meal or cake meal
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
5 eggs separated
2 large dessert apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
225g/1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Garnish
Icing sugar

Method

1)Pre-heat the oven to 190 C/ 375 F/ Gas mark 5.
2)Line the base of a 20 cm/ 8 inch square tin and grease the sides.
3)Combine sugar, cinnamon, salt and matzo meal.
4)Add eggs yolks, oil and zest and juice of the lemon and whisk together until the mixture is thick.
5)Whisk the egg whites in a separate clean bowl until stiff. Combine the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
6)Pour half of this batter into a greased tin. Cover batter with thinly sliced apples. Sprinkle with remaining batter.
7) Bake for 45 minutes in the pre heated oven until the mixture is firm and set in the middle.
8)Cool completely before cutting into squares.

To serve the stylish way: Stack up the squares up high and dust with icing sugar.
