Categories     dessert

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
4 McIntosh apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 3/4-inch slices, 1/4-inch thick
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup sliced blanched almonds
10 squares plain unsalted matzo
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Softened butter for greasing pan
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and saute apple slices on high heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly browned. Remove to a large bowl with a slotted spoon. Add 2 teaspoons butter to the skillet, lower heat to medium, and quickly saute raisins and almonds, stirring constantly. Be careful not to burn them. Add to bowl with apples, and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place matzo squares in another large bowl, and run cool water over them to soften. Crumble the matzo, and drain in a colander. Return drained matzo to bowl.
  • Combine eggs with matzo and stir well. In another bowl, mix sour cream and cream cheese thoroughly. Then add it to the matzo mixture, along with sugar, cinnamon, salt, and fruit-nut mixture. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Grease a 10-inch square Pyrex baking pan (or similar) with butter (use quite a bit), pour mixture into pan, and bake for 50 minutes or until top is a light golden brown. Let cool on counter. Loosen sides with a knife, place a large platter over the baking pan, and carefully turn the kugel out onto the platter. If any pieces stick in the pan, just put them in place. When cooled, sprinkle top with confectioners' sugar (best done through a sieve or sifter). YOu can serve this kugel warm (not hot) or at room temperature, but we like it best chilled in the refrigerator with the confectioners' sugar added just prior to serving.

Categories     Fruit Juice     Egg     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Passover     Orange     Raisin     Apple     Apricot     Spring     Kosher

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large apples, Granny Smith or any tart apple, cored and cut into medium dice
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
6 plain matzohs
8 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) butter or margarine, melted
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup dried apricots, medium, chopped
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut into small pieces, for casserole topping

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • 2. Toss the apples with the brown sugar and orange juice, set aside in a medium bowl.
  • 3. Break the matzoh into 2- to 3-inch pieces and soak in 1 cup of warm water until soft but not mushy. Set aside.
  • 4. While the matzoh soaks, beat the eggs with a wire whisk in a large bowl until blended. Add the salt, sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, raisins, and apricots.
  • 5. Squeeze the liquid from the softened matzoh and add the matzoh to the egg mixture with the apples. Stir the kugel well and pour into a lightly greased 2 1/2-quart casserole dish or a 10x14-inch pan. Dot the top of the kugel with the 4 tablespoons of butter.
  • 6. Bake the kugel for 1 hour. Cover the top with foil if the top begins to become too brown early in the baking. Remove the kugel from the oven and cool to room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your kugel a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't peel the apples. The skin adds flavor and nutrients to the kugel.
  • Use fresh raisins. Dried raisins can be tough and chewy.
  • Add some spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all good choices.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the kugel tough.
  • Bake the kugel until it is golden brown. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
  • Let the kugel cool slightly before serving. This will make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Apple raisin kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover apples and raisins. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying kugel that the whole family will enjoy.
