Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 20 mins


• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c).
• whisk egg yolks, vegetable oil, and 1 cup sugar in a bowl until thoroughly combined; stir matzo cake meal and potato starch into egg yolk mixture to make a workable dough. press dough into an 11x17-inch baking pan. transfer apricot jam to a bowl and stir until spreadable; spoon jam onto crust and spread in an even layer.
• bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• beat egg whites in a bowl until frothy, using an electric mixer. gradually beat in 1 cup sugar and cinnamon until meringue forms glossy, sharp peaks. fold walnuts into meringue and spread over jam layer, covering jam and crust completely.
• return to oven and bake until meringue is lightly golden brown and crust is set, about 20 more minutes. let cool completely before cutting into squares with a sharp knife. as you cut, you might want to wash the sharp knife every once in awhile, as the meringue sticks to the knife.
