In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs with 1 teaspoon of salt (adjust to taste).
Add ½ cup granulated sugar to the eggs (adjust to taste) and whisk until combined.
Stir in ½ cup melted margarine or butter, 1 cup raisins, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 (15 ounce) can of your favorite fruit pie filling.
Gently fold in the softened matzo until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into a greased 9x9 inch or 9x13 inch baking dish (adjust recipe accordingly if doubling).
