How to Make Passover Apple Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup matzo meal, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add 2 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and the zest of 1 lemon to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the matzo meal mixture.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Arrange thinly sliced apples (about 2 medium apples) evenly over the batter.
  8. Pour the remaining batter over the apples.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
