How to Make Laura's Apple Matzoh Kugel

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss 3 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup orange juice. Set aside.
  3. Break 8-10 matzah crackers into pieces and soak in 1 cup warm water for 10-15 minutes, until softened but not mushy. Drain well, squeezing out excess liquid.
  4. While matzah soaks, whisk 4 large eggs in a large bowl until light and frothy.
  5. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/2 cup craisins, and 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots to the eggs. Stir to combine.
  6. Gently fold in the drained matzah and the apple mixture.
  7. Pour the batter into a lightly greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  8. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
  9. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let cool slightly before serving.
