  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 24

Ingredients

Units
  • 2 apples
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 4 carrots
  • 1 cup matzah meal
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted dairy or vegan butter, melted, or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda (see notes)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup light- or dark-brown sugar

Instructions

  2. Child: Place the paper muffin cups in the muffin tins.
  3. Child alone, or with adult: Peel, core and grate the apples, and peel and grate the sweet potato and carrots, and measure so that each makes 1 cup, putting them into a bowl as you go. Mix in the matzah meal, your choice of melted fat, the salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. Spoon the batter into the cups, making them two-thirds full.
