Apple kugel, a sweet and savory pudding, is another popular dish. Matzo apple kugel is a delicious and unique dish that combines the best of both worlds. It is made with layers of crispy matzo, sweet apples, and a creamy custard filling. You can mix in cinnamon, sugar, raisins, and walnuts for extra flavors. Some recipes top with a streusel topping for a crunchy texture.
Whether you are looking for a traditional Passover dish or simply a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, matzo apple kugel is sure to please. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover matzo after the holiday. With its combination of sweet and savory flavors, crispy and creamy textures, matzo apple kugel is a dish that everyone will enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the crumbled matzos in a medium bowl, and add enough water to cover. Let stand for 2 minutes, then drain off excess water. Don't squeeze.
- To the bowl of matzo, add eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, lemon juice and applesauce. Stir to combine. Mix in the apples and dried cranberries. Spread the mixture evenly into a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Mix together the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top.
- Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden, and the apples are soft.

Steps:
- 1. Mix the farfel with 2 of the eggs and 1/2 tsp. of the salt and then toast the mixture over medium low heat in a heavy skillet. Set aside.
- 2. In a medium bowl, beat the remaing 2 eggs and a 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. cinnamon, and 3 tbsps. of the melted cooled butter. Add in the toasted farfel mixture and 1/2 cup water.
- 3. In a greased 8 X 8 baking dish, layer 1/2 the apples, and sprinkle with the lemon juice and a dusting of cinnamon, then add the matza farfel mixture and top with the remaining apples. Then sprinkle with nuts and dust it more cinnamon and pour over the remaining melted butter.
- 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
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 skins add flavor and texture to the kugel.
- Use fresh lemon juice. This will help to brighten the flavor of the kugel and prevent the apples from browning.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the kugel tough.
- Bake the kugel until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
