Passover Apple Squares is a popular dessert during the Jewish holiday of Passover, which celebrates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. This dish uses matzo meal instead of flour, which is one of the dietary restrictions during Passover. The addition of apples and cinnamon gives this dish a warm and comforting flavor. Passover Apple Squares can be enjoyed as a dessert after a satisfying meal with family and friends.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	In a large bowl, combine the salt, walnut oil, matzo meal, lemon juice and rind, and egg yolks until well combined. Set aside.
3.	In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold the egg whites into the matzo meal mixture.
4.	Spread two-thirds of the batter in a greased 9-inch square baking dish. Layer the apples over the batter. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon.
5.	Drop the remaining batter by spoonfuls over apples. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.
6.	Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool before slicing into squares and serving.
