How to Make Apple Cheese Tortellini Kugel

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 3-quart casserole dish with butter.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced), 1 (15 ounce) can apple pie filling, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons orange juice. Mix well.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk 4 large eggs until light and frothy.
  4. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/2 cup dried cranberries, and 1/2 cup dried apricots to the whisked eggs. Mix until well combined.
  5. Gently fold in 1 (9 ounce) package cheese tortellini and the apple mixture into the egg mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the top is lightly golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving at room temperature. Enjoy!
