Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Apples (preferably Granny Smith, peeled and diced)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Matzo meal
- 0.25 cup Potato starch
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples and 1/4 cup of the sugar. Allow the apples to sit while you prepare the batter, so they release some of their juices.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and the remaining sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until evenly incorporated.
Gradually add the matzo meal and potato starch, stirring to combine until a thick batter forms.
Fold the diced apples (along with their juices) into the batter, mixing gently until the apples are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the apple squares to cool in the baking dish for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
