How to Make Fantastic Apple Cranberry Apricot Matzoh Kugel
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 3-quart casserole dish.
- In a bowl, toss 4 medium apples, peeled and diced, with 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup fresh orange juice. Set aside.
- In another bowl, soak 6-8 matzah pieces in 1 cup warm water until softened but not mushy (about 5 minutes). Set aside.
- While matzah soaks, whisk 4 large eggs in a large bowl until light and frothy.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 cup dried cranberries, and 1/2 cup dried apricots (or cherries) to the egg mixture.
- Mix well to combine.
- Gently squeeze excess liquid from the softened matzah and add it to the egg mixture along with the apple mixture.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- Sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and dot the top with 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
- Bake, covered with foil, for 40 minutes.
- Remove foil, and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Best served at room temperature (but we won't judge if you dig in while it's still warm!).
