Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c matzo farfel
4 eggs, well beaten
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp salt
5 Tbsp melted butter and cooled
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c chopped walnuts
2 large apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 c raisins
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 c water

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.
