• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish or similar-sized baking dish.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, pears, dried apricots, and raisins.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon zest, and salt.

Step 4

Pour the orange juice mixture over the fruit and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.

Step 5

Transfer the fruit mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out in an even layer.

Step 6

In another small bowl, combine the matzo meal and melted butter or margarine. Mix well until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 7

Sprinkle the matzo meal topping evenly over the fruit mixture.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown.
