Cooking Times:

Ingredients:

• 4 apples
• 3 tablespoons sweet butter
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 2 pinches salt
• 1 tablespoon sweet butter (for greasing)
• 2 matzohs
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons sugar

Instructions:

1. Make the Caramelized Apples:

   • Peel, core, and cut each apple into small chunks.
   • In a large heavy saucepan, melt the 3 tablespoons of sweet butter over medium heat.
   • Add the apple chunks and cook, stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes.
   • Incorporate the maple syrup and cinnamon, then cook until the apples are tender, around 5 minutes, depending on the apple variety.
   • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked apples to a bowl and set aside.
   • Boil the syrup remaining in the pan until it thickens into a golden caramel, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
   • Remove the caramel from heat and cautiously add the cream, lemon juice, and salt, stirring well.
   • Return the mixture to the stove and simmer until smooth and slightly thickened.
   • Reintroduce the cooked apples to the pot, ensuring they’re fully coated with the caramel sauce. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Matzoh Brie:

   • Butter the bottom and sides of a large shallow baking pan generously.
   • Break the matzohs into small pieces and spread them evenly into the buttered pan.
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, vanilla extract, salt, and sugar.
   • Beat in the cooled melted butter until well combined.
   • Pour this mixture over the matzohs and let it soak for about 15 minutes, allowing the matzohs to absorb the liquid.
   • Smooth out the mixture as evenly as possible.

3. Assemble and Refrigerate:

   • Spread the caramelized apples, along with all the sauce, evenly over the matzoh mixture.
   • Cover the pan with foil and refrigerate overnight.

4. Baking:

   • Remove the pan from the fridge and let it come to room temperature.
   • Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
   • Bake the dish, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until fully cooked and the top is lightly golden brown.

5. Finishing Touches:

   • Switch on the broiler and briefly brown the apple topping.
   • Serve warm, optionally accompanied by fresh sour cream.
