Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups matzo cake meal
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 4 medium sized apples peeled, cored and sliced thin
  • 4 tsp. sugar + 2 tsp. cinnamon mixture

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In the large bowl of a stand mixer, beat eggs on medium-high speed. Lower the speed and gradually add the sugars, oil and vanilla, mixing well after each addition. Add cake meal and blend well.
  • In a small bowl, toss the sliced apples in half of the the cinnamon sugar mixture. Reserve the other half for sprinkling the top of the cake.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Smooth batter using a rubber spatula, and arrange half of the apple slices over the batter in a single layer. Repeat with the remaining batter and apples. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the layer of apples.
  • Bake for 90 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool in the pan before slicing into squares.
