For a richer flavor, consider using melted coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. If you don't have orange juice on hand, you can substitute with apple juice or water. To prevent the apples from sinking, toss them lightly with a tablespoon of matzo cake meal before adding them to the batter. The cake is best served warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
