5 large apples, sliced thin
6 dried apricot halves, coarsely minced
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

3 eggs, separated
3/4 cup matzoh cake meal
3/4 cup sugar

2 tsp vanilla
Pinch salt
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest

Topping:
1/3 cup walnuts, finely chopped
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp sugar

Instructions
Toss apples with sugar and cinnamon. Set apples and apricots aside.

In a medium bowl, combine egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, matzoh meal and oil. Blend until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with pinch of salt until stiff and glossy. Loosen batter with generous dollop of egg whites, then fold remaining egg whites into batter.
