How to Make Apple Matzo Kugel

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, soak 1 cup farfel or 6-8 matzo pieces broken into 1-inch pieces in 2 cups of warm water for 15-20 minutes, until softened.
  3. Drain the matzo mixture thoroughly, but do not squeeze.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter or margarine, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the softened matzo mixture.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chopped apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), 1/2 cup raisins, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. Pour the batter into a greased 8x8 inch or 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of additional melted butter or margarine.
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the kugel is golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite topping.
