Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch-square baking dish with spray oil.

In a medium bowl, combine apples, 1/4 cup of the apple juice and lemon juice, and set aside. 

Break matzoh into bite-size pieces and place in a separate bowl with remaining apple juice; let soak just until softened, about 5 minutes. 

Drain matzoh and discard remaining juice.

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together until blended. 

Fold in apricots and drained, softened matzoh. 

Layer 1/3 of the apples and juices in the prepared baking dish. 

Add 1/2 of the egg mixture. 

Repeat with remaining apples and egg mixture; ending with a thin layer of apples on top.

Bake until apples are golden brown on top and tender throughout, about 50 minutes. 

Let cool slightly before serving or cool completely.
