- Preheat oven to 170°C.
- To make the cake batter, first prepare the dry ingredients by whisking together the matzo meal, potato starch, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside
- Next, prepare the wet ingredients by combining the applesauce, summer squash, sugar, orange juice, flax “egg,” and water in a larger bowl. Stir to combine and set aside
- Add the dry mixture to the wet, stirring to combine until you have a smooth batter
- Next make the cinnamon sugar mixture by mixing together the cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar
- Pour half the cake batter into a lightly oiled cake pan or springform pan and top with half the prepared apple slices.
- Sprinkle with half the cinnamon sugar mixture then spread the remaining cake batter on top
- Arrange the remaining apple slices in a pretty pattern on top of the cake and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture and the chopped pistachios.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
- Serve warm or cool either as is, or with a scoop of non-dairy vanilla ice cream (if serving hot), or with a sprinkling of icing sugar if serving cool.
