ingredients

1 ¹⁄₄ cups matzo meal
¹⁄₄ cup raw sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 dash salt
¹⁄₂ cup unsalted butter (melted) or 1/2 cup margarine (melted)
6 small apples, suitable for baking (cored and cut into pieces)
¹⁄₄ - ¹⁄₂ cup walnuts, to taste
¹⁄₃ cup sweet red wine (e.g. Malaga or Concord)
1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 dash salt
1 tablespoon arrowroot (for pie filling only)
¹⁄₃ cup matzo meal
¹⁄₂ cup raw sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 dash of freshly grated nutmeg (5 or 6 good shaves)
¹⁄₄ cup butter (softened) or 1/4 cup margarine (softened)

directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
For the crust: Use a food processor or a fork to mix all the dry ingredients: the matzo meal of crushed matzo, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Mix in the melted butter.
The crust will still appear pretty crumbly at this point.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
Pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes.
For the pie filling, either use enough leftover charoset to fill a 9-inch pie pan, adding 1 tbsp Arrowroot added to absorb liquid and help the filling set OR follow the steps below.
For the charoset filling: Add all the apples, walnuts, wine, honey or agave nectar, cinnamon, salt, and arrowroot to a food processor and pulse until everything is in small pieces. For a smoother pie filling texture continue pulsing the mixture until it just starts to look smooth.
For the crumb topping: Combine matzo meal or crushed matzah, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in the butter with either a food processor or a fork until fully incorporated, leaving you with a tasty, crumbly topping.
Putting it together: The oven is already preheated, thanks to pre-baking the matzo meal crust.
Scoop the filling until the crust is filled and the filling is slightly rounded.
Use your spoon or scoop to smooth the top.
Cover the charoset filling with the crumble topping.
Cover the pie with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake the pie for another 25 minutes.
Remove the pie from the oven and place on a cooling rack or a cool burner and allow to cool for two hours to overnight.
