This is SOOO delicious. I agree with a previous reviewer that you should either double the batter or cut down on the apples...I split the batter and started spreading half of it in the bottom of a 9 by 13 pan (as called for) but immediately saw it wasnt near enough batter. so i switched to a 7 by 11 pan put half batter on bottom covered with only 3/4 of the apple mixture and topped with half of the batter. So either double batter of cut down on the apples. i dont understand the negative reviews...trust me this cake DOESNT TASTE PASSOVER and got rave reviews by my family. if you try ANYTHING TRY THIS--trust me!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely wonderful. My boss wanted to know how I got the recipe for his grandmother's apple cake. I do have a suggestion. I read all the reviews bad and good. The only thing I did different was to double the batter when I saw how many apple slices there were once they were cut. There was plenty of batter for the bottom and the top. Kudos to the chef!!!
I made this to practice the dessert for Seder night and I was skeptical when I making this recipe. I had to press the "bottom" part of the batter into the pan it was so thick! And when I took it out of the oven it was very oily (what appeared like oil). I let it cool for a few hours and when the boyfriend tasted it he said it didn't taste like Pesach and he would've believed me if I had told him it wasn't! That's the highest compliment seeing as he dreads Passover food. Thank you!
I was extremely disappointed in this cake. First I would have used Matzoh Cake Meal not the coarser Matzoh Meal. Secondly there was not enough batter to even spread on the bottom of a 9/13" pan much less make two dough layers. I ended up with the apples on top without any dough covering them. The "cake" portion was soggy and I ended up throwing the whole thing out. It was a complete waste time of ingredients and time. Marlene
This was a great Passover cake. A VERY nice change from the box mixes. After reading the other reviews I used only five apples and increased the batter to 1 1/2 times the original amount. We didn't have brown sugar so I had to use regular sugar instead. I also added some raisins to the apple mixture. The entire family adored it! Thanks for the great recipe!
i read all the reviews and agree that the batter needs to be doubled. i made it 3 times in a week once to try it second for passover and third for easter sunday! first go was ok too much nutmeg tho. i cut that to about less than a 1/2 a teaspoon. the second & third time i doubled the batter cut back on the nutmeg and added more brown sugar to the middle with the apples (which i only used about 4-5 apples) and on top BETTER!! everyone raved about it at both dinners! i will definitely make this again!!!!!
I made this recipe and accidently used cake meal. It is delicious. Hubby did a taste test. Happy to find a good holiday recipe. (It's in the freezer waiting for Passover)
More like an apple cobbler but HEAVY. Not eaten in spite of lovely aroma and taste.
This is the best Passover dessert my family ever tasted! Took it to a Temple luncheon and everyone wants the recipe!
