    • Tips

    • 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 savoury, use nuts. Serve this recipe in squares and it is delicious for tea or as a dessert during Passover
