16 dried apricots
1 lb pitted prune, cut up
1 cup warm water
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup matzo meal
1 teaspoon potato starch
2 tablespoons oil
4 apples, finely sliced
1/2 cup honey

In a medium bowl, soak dried apricots in warm water to cover until plump, about 1 hour. Drain well, and set aside.
2
In another bowl, soak prunes in 1 cup warm water to cover until plump, about 1/2 an hour. Do not drain (you need to add the soaking water to the batter along with the prunes).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
5
Add matzah meal and potato starch; mix well. Let stand for 30 minutes.
6
Add oil, apples, and prunes, along with their soaking water; mix well.
7
Grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Pour honey evenly into the bottom of the baking dish, then arrange the drained apricots in the honey.
8
Pour the batter over, and bake at 350 for 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
9
Turn upside down down on a serving platter while still warm. Can be served warm or cold.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
