Ingredients for Apple Matzo Kugel

  • Farfel
  • 4 large eggs
  • A pinch of salt (optional)
  • Brown Sugar
  • Butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pecans
  • Apples
  • Golden Raisin

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.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
