Creamy Matzo-Apple Kugel image

This sweet and creamy kugel makes an impressive centerpiece for a Passover brunch. You can also serve it for dessert.

Provided by Food Network

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.

MATZO APPLE ORANGE KUGEL



Matzo Apple Orange Kugel image

Many kugels are made with noodles and we loved the matzo in this recipe. When baked, the matzo and egg have almost a bread pudding texture. The flavor is amazing. It's overloaded with apples and cinnamon. Orange zest adds a nice, fresh flavor. This is classified as a side dish, but could really be a dessert.

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 matzos
6 eggs, well beaten
1/2-3/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 c raisins, any type note: may use craisins for a change.
4 large apples (any type, but I like delicious), peeled or partially peeled
1 large orange, zest only
1/2 c almonds, chopped or sliced
4+ Tbsp cinnamon-sugar mixture
1/2 c butter or margarine, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Break matzohs coarsely. Soak them in water just until soft (about 1 minute). Squeeze out excess water. (DO NOT OVER SOAK!)
  • 2. In a very large bowl, stir together the matzos and the eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon, raisins, apples, orange zest, and almonds.
  • 3. Place in well-greased (or sprayed with Pam) baking pan or casserole dish. Sprinkle top with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Note: The orange rind is a must! Add extra for even more flavor.
  • 4. Drizzle butter or margarine over the top if desired.
  • 5. Bake at 350 until firm and browned (about 45 minutes).
  • 6. Note: This freezes well. I use the large slits of a hand grater, but you can use a food processor for speedier prep time.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 matzo crackers, crushed or 2 cups matzo farfel
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/3 cup applesauce
3 granny smith apples, cored, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries or 1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your kugel a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Gala apples.
  • Peel and core your apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the kugel from becoming too mushy.
  • Use fresh orange zest. This will give your kugel a bright, citrusy flavor. You can also use dried orange zest, but it will not be as flavorful.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the kugel tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the kugel in a greased baking dish. This will help to prevent it from sticking.
  • Let the kugel cool slightly before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Matzo apple orange kugel is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover matzo and apples, and it is also a good source of fiber and vitamin C. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this kugel a try. You won't be disappointed!
