Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored; add matzo meal, then fried matzoth. Mix lightly but well. Add almonds, lemon rind, salt and grated apple.

Wine Sauce:
-
Place egg yolks in a deep, but not too large, bowl that will fit over a pan of water. Beat until the yolks are richly thick; then gradually beat in the sugar mixed with the cinnamon. Place the bowl over hot, not boiling, water and beat as the wine is slowly poured in. Continue to beat until the sauce stands up high and fluffy.
