FANTASTIC APPLE-CRANBERRY APRICOT MATZOH KUGEL!



Fantastic Apple-Cranberry Apricot Matzoh Kugel! image

This is better than any bread pudding!!! This is best served at room temperature, yeah right, just try and wait that long, you will have it half gone before it even reaches room temperature LOL! it is THAT good, try this, you will LOVE IT! Dried cherries can be used in place of the dried apricots and raisins can be replaced for the cranberries, I use Ocean Spray Craisins when I make this! If you prefer a less sweeter kugel then reduce the white sugar to 1-1/4 cups or less.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large baking apples (use Granny smith if possible, cored and medium diced)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
6 plain matzohs (broken into 2-3-inch pieces, use unsalted matzoh)
1 cup warm water
8 large eggs
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon (can use more)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup melted butter (or use margarine)
1 1/4 cups dried cranberries (I use Ocean Spray Craisins for this)
1 1/4 cups dried apricots, chopped coarsely
5 tablespoons cold butter (cut into small pieces) or 5 tablespoons margarine (cut into small pieces)
2 tablespoons sugar (use white or brown sugar for sprinkling)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350°F.

  • In a bowl toss the apple pieces with 1/3 cup brown sugar (can use less than 1/3 cup sugar if desired) and 1/4 cup fresh orange juice; set aside.
  • In another bowl soak the matzoh pieces in 1 cup warm water until soft but not mushy; set aside.
  • While the matzoh is soaking, in a large bowl whisk the eggs until well blended; add in the salt, cinnamon, 1-1/2 cups sugar, melted butter, cranberries (or Craisins) and chopped dried apricots; mix to combine.
  • Gently squeeze the liquid from the matzohs (don't worry about squeezing all of the water out completely!) add to the egg mixture along with the chopped apples; mix very well.
  • Transfer the mixture into greased baking dish.
  • Sprinkle lightly with about 2 tablespoons white or brown sugar, then dot all over with the cold butter pieces.
  • Bake covered with foil for about 40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven uncover, then return and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes, or until the casserole is set.
  • Serve at room temperature.

CHERRY APPLE MATZOH KUGEL



Cherry Apple Matzoh Kugel image

I found this recipe while searching for an additional kugel to add to my Passover holiday menu. This was a HUGE success. You can pre-make the kugel and then right before you start your seder as your dinner is being kept warm in the oven place it inside to reheat. When your family reaches the festive meal portion of the evening spread the preserves on top and serve. This recipe was found at http://www.jewish-food.org/ and was attributed to Linda Shapiro ([email protected]).

The origins of this dish can be traced back to Eastern Europe. It is believed that the dish was created as a way to stretch and use up leftover matzoh after the Passover holiday. Matzoh is a central element of the Passover holiday as it signifies the unleavened bread that was consumed by the Jewish people during their exodus from Egypt. The use of apples in this dish further enhances the dish by adding some sweetness and moisture to the dish while still maintaining the Passover dietary restrictions.

Apple Matzoh Kugel Recipes are an excellent dessert for any Jewish holiday or celebration. Kugel is a traditional Jewish dish that is quite popular during Passover. This special dish requires the use of matzoh instead of noodles and is best served with apples, raisins, and other delicious toppings. In this article, we will discuss valuable tips to consider when making Apple Matzoh Kugel Recipes. These tips will help you create a delicious and high-quality dish that everyone will enjoy.

Choose the Right Ingredients

When making Apple Matzoh Kugel, it is essential to choose the right ingredients to ensure that the dish turns out perfectly. One of the most important ingredients is, of course, the matzoh. Typically, it is best to use plain matzoh, but you can also use flavored matzoh to add some extra taste. In addition to the matzoh, you will also need apples. Apples are a critical ingredient in any Apple Matzoh Kugel recipe. Choose apples that are firm and crisp, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples. You can add other ingredients like raisins, cinnamon, and sugar to enhance the flavor. Other important ingredients are eggs and butter. For a lighter version of the recipe, substitute the butter with unsweetened apple sauce or olive oil.

Soak Matzoh Before Using It

One of the most important tips when making Apple Matzoh Kugel is to soak the matzoh before using it. This will make it easier to mix and avoid it clumping together. Soak the matzoh in water for a few minutes, then drain the water and wring out the matzoh. Doing this will help the matzoh to be more flexible, making it easier to cut, chop, or blend with the other ingredients.

Use a Food Processor to Mix Ingredients

Another useful tip is to use a food processor to mix the ingredients. A food processor can help you to blend the matzoh, apples, and other ingredients into a smooth paste, making it easier to bake the dish evenly. By using a food processor, you can also control the texture of the dish better. If you would like to make the dish chunkier or creamier, you can adjust the processing time accordingly.

Grease the Pan and Baking Dish

To prevent the Apple Matzoh Kugel from sticking, it is essential to grease both the pan and the baking dish beforehand. You can use non-stick cooking spray or olive oil to coat the surface of the baking pan.

Use an Oven Thermometer

When baking the Apple Matzoh Kugel, it is vital to use an oven thermometer to ensure that the temperature is accurate. An oven thermometer can help you monitor the temperature of the oven and avoid overcooking or undercooking the dish. As ovens tend to vary in temperature and may take slightly longer, it's essential to keep a watchful eye on the kugel, ensuring it's not overbaking.

Cool Before Serving

After taking the Apple Matzoh Kugel out of the oven, let it set and cool. Cooling allows the kugel to settle, so it comes out more evenly sliced. Letting the dish cool down before serving also ensures that it will not crumble, making it easier to serve.

Conclusion

In conclusion, making Apple Matzoh Kugel can be a challenge, but by following the above tips, you will surely create a dish that your guests will enjoy. Remember to choose the right ingredients, soak the matzoh before use, use a food processor to mix ingredients, grease the pan and baking dish, use an oven thermometer and cool before serving. By being mindful of these tips, you can create the perfect Apple Matzoh Kugel that is not only delicious but also perfectly presented. Shalom!
