Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/4 cup whole pecans -- broken into 1/2-inch pieces

5 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 granny smith apples -- peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice

5 tablespoons sugar

juice of 1/2 lemon

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup golden or dark raisins

8 sheets matzo

3 cups boiling water

4 large eggs

1 pinch coarse salt

 

Preheat the oven to 350º. Place pecans in a single layer on a rimmed baking

sheet; toast in oven until they are light golden and aromatic, about 7 minutes.

Shake pan halfway through baking to make sure the nuts toast evenly. Set aside

to cool.

 

In a medium sauté pan set over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add

apples; cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons

sugar over apples; cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and

caramelized, about 8 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, cinnamon, and raisins. Remove

pan from heat; set aside.

 

Break matzo sheets into 3-inch pieces, and place in a colander set in the sink.

Pour 3 cups boiling water, one cup at a time, over the matzo, and drain.

 

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs. Add salt and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Stir

in the soaked matzo; mix until well coated.

 

Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet set over medium-high

heat. Add matzo mixture, and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 10

minutes. Stir in two-thirds of the apple mixture until warm; transfer to a

serving plate. Garnish with the reserved toasted pecans and the remaining apple

mixture. Serve immediately.
