Passover Apple Squares
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Makes: 16 squares
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 savory, use nuts. Serve this recipe in squares and it is delicious for tea or as a dessert during Passover.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Rakusen’s margarine – to grease the tin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 120ml vegetable oil
- 200g Rakusen’s 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 caster sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Garnish: Icing sugar
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 190°C / 375°F / Gas mark 5.
- Line the base of a 20 cm / 8 inch square tin and grease the sides.
- Combine sugar, cinnamon, salt and matzo meal.
- Add eggs yolks, oil and zest and juice of the lemon and whisk together until the mixture is thick.
- Whisk the egg whites in a separate clean bowl until stiff. Combine the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
- Pour half of this batter into a greased tin. Cover batter with thinly sliced apples. Sprinkle with remaining batter.
- Bake for 45 minutes in the pre heated oven until the mixture is firm and set in the middle.
- Cool completely before cutting into squares.
To serve the stylish way: Stack up the squares up high and dust with icing sugar.
