Tips:
- Use a food processor to make quick work of grating the apples. This will save you time and energy.
- Be sure to taste the applesauce before adding the sugar. You may not need as much as the recipe calls for, depending on the sweetness of your apples.
- If you don't have matzo meal, you can use crushed matzo crackers instead. Just be sure to grind them into a fine powder before using.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the kugel tough.
- Serve the kugel warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
