Who knew baking with gluten free matzo meal could be so tasty?

If you are looking for a treat to enjoy while celebrating the Passover, then this one is sure to be a hit. My family looks forward to me making this recipe every year, and I am sure you will want to do the same.

Just in case you aren’t sure exactly what Passover is, you should take a look at this fun and interesting article that explains everything perfectly: A Gentile’s Guide To Keeping Kosher For Passover.

When you make a matzo cake, you will find it isn’t made the way traditional cakes are put together. First, you will pour some of the batter in the bottom layer of the pan; then you place a layer of apples. Top the apples with another layer of gluten free batter, and then you are ready to toss it in the oven.

If you haven't made a cake like this before, I am sure you have some questions. Here are some things I think you may ask:

Is there gluten in matzo?

Traditionally, yes there is gluten in matzo. It is a bread that is unleavened which means it was a dough that didn’t rise. The texture and crunch is similar to crackers. It is made with flour and water, so it is not gluten free.

Thank goodness they now make gluten free matzo!! To keep this apple cake gluten free, use gluten free matzo meal that has been certified kosher.

Can I make this cake as muffins?

Yes, you can turn this Passover apple cake recipe into muffins. Simply follow instructions as written and pour the batter into a lined or sprayed muffin tin. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until you can insert a toothpick, and remove it and it comes out clean.

The muffins are just as scrumptious as the full-sized cake; only you can grab them and go!

Can I freeze matzo apple cake?

Yes, you can freeze gluten free matzo apple cake. The best way to freeze the apple cake is to tightly wrap it in plastic wrap, then place in freezer bag or airtight container. To thaw the texture and flavor is best if you thaw in the fridge. After it is defrosted, you can toss it in the microwave to warm it up before eating.

If you are a fan of this gluten free Passover apple cake, then you should see these other apple dessert recipes:

• Nobody will know this Mouthwatering Gluten Free French Apple Cake is gluten free!
• Mr. Fearless Dining's favorite Easy Gluten Free German Apple Cake
• This Gluten Free Apple Tart With Vanilla Caramel Custard is perfect for a party!

Instructions:

Start by slicing apples thinly and adding them to a bowl. I kept the peels on, feel free to remove the peels if you prefer.

Add the cinnamon and topping mix to the apples and mix well.

Add your wet ingredients to a standing mixer or bowl. Mix until the ingredients are mixed together. Pour in the Matzo meal (they even have a matzo cake meal variety!)

Spray a cake pan with coconut oil and line the bottom with parchment paper. This will make it a lot easier to get your cake out of the pan.

Pour half of the cake batter into the pan. Top with the apple mixture. Then pour the remaining batter on top of the apples. Use a spatula to spread the batter around to make sure all of the apples are covered.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes until done

See all of those yummy layers of apple? Bites of this cake are sooo crazy good.

Optional mix-in tips:

This gluten free apple cake is so good as it is, but if you want to add in some extra flavors here are a few ideas:

• Raisins
• Walnuts
• Almonds
• Pecans
