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.

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.

This kugel is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I could adjust the sugar content to make it more to my liking.

This kugel was a hit at my Passover Seder! It was moist, flavorful, and the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
