Apple Pie
Although the ingredients are nothing unusual it yields a high & addictive pie. Dare we say one of the best Passover pies. My aunt has a non Jewish helper; she knows the family recipes better than my aunt and to make herself indispensable she doesn't give them out. If she does give a recipe out, something is always missing. When I called her for this recipe, it didn't seem right but after some memory digging and a couple of phone calls later, I assembled it the way it was supposed to be! Share it. Thats sweet revenge!

- 5 Granny Smith apples
- ½ cup potato starch
- 5 eggs

- 1 tsp vanilla sugar
Topping:
- 1 ¾ cups coarsely chopped walnuts (not ground)
- ⅓ - ½ cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Peel, core apples and slice into rings.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato starch, eggs, oil, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Add apples to the bowl and coat well.
- Combine walnuts and sugar. Place half of the topping on the bottom of a round pan or pyrex. Layer apples neatly. Pour remaining egg mixture on top.
