Ingredients

• 4 sheets Matzoh
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples (thinly sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Break the matzoh into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Cover with lukewarm water and let soak for 2 minutes, or until the matzoh softens.

Step 2

Drain the matzoh well in a sieve or colander and gently press out any excess water.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture over the drained matzoh, stirring to combine. Transfer to the refrigerator and allow to sit overnight to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves to create a caramel-like sauce, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the sliced apples to the skillet, coating them in the caramel. Sprinkle with the cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and fully caramelized.

Step 6

Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a little more butter if necessary to coat the skillet.

Step 7

Spoon the soaked matzoh mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the matzoh is golden brown and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the caramelized apples to the skillet, folding them gently into the cooked matzoh mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally drizzled with maple syrup and sprinkled with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
