Erin [and Regina]:

[Updated April 2024 based on real measurements]

Get 12 large apples. If they are medium, get more.  I use
mostly [nine] granny smith. About 3/4 of them.  Then for the
rest get some [three] red ones, but the new kind like
honeycrisp or envy [envy] or pacific rose. Not red delicious
which are mushy and gross!

Do this 3 apples at a time.  Peel 3 apples.  Wedge them with
that thing your dad [or uncle] likes [an apple corer/slicer],
then chop them. Use a knife or a slap chopper about 12 slaps.
You want them in pieces about the size of a pea or smaller.
Dump them in a bowl and drizzle Manischewitz [concord grape
Passover wine] over them and mix well to color them so they
don't turn brown. Okay the wine will turn them sorta brown.
Maybe use about a tablespoon or two [2 tablespoons for every 3
apples].  Repeat 3 apples at a time in the same bowl with a
tablespoon or two [2 tablespoons] of more wine each time.

Can you do all the apples first and then all the wine? No, the
apples will oxidize and turn brown and because I said so.

Get some walnut halves and chop them up with a knife or the
slap chopper [or buy them pre-chopped]. They should be smaller
than the apples are chopped but not so small they are dust.
Use [1 1/2 cups] of chopped walnuts for 12 apples.  Mix it up
and if you can't taste the nuts, add a little more until you
can just taste the nuts.

Add [white granulated] sugar until it's sweet, mixing well.  It
should taste like pie-filling sweet and not like fresh apples.
Maybe a half cup of sugar?  I dunno, I do it by taste.  It
might even be a cup or a cup and a half? [1 1/4 cups] Then when
it's sweet enough add a quarter cup [1/4 cup] of honey and mix
that well.

Add [1/4 teaspoon] of ground cinnamon. Only add just enough so
you can barely taste it. Again, go by taste so add a tiny bit
more until you can taste it.

Find some vanilla that is kosher for Passover. The vanilla
plant itself is okay for Passover--the beans are not even
considered kitniyot. But you can't use extract because it's
made with alcohol and that means yeast!  You can find vanilla
powder at some stores or Trader Joes used to have alcohol free
vanilla. That's what I have and maybe they still sell it.  (We
have Amazon now, so maybe it's not that hard to find.)  Add
[1/2 teaspoon] and mix well.

That is all.  It's better if it sits an hour or two to get more
liquidy.

Really I do this all by taste [except in 2024] so the amounts
might be way off.
