In an attempt to make sure we have some food in the house to eat this week during passover, I made a apple matzoh kugel today. It is actually going to make its way into the freezer since we probably won’t get around to eating it till Thursday, but at least I know it is done! I adapted the recipe from epicurious. However, I used less butter and less sugar. I also only made 1/2 recipe since it is just for 2 of us.

Apple-Matzoh Kugel

  • 2 large apples, Granny Smith or any tart apple, cored and cut into medium dice
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/8 cup orange juice
  • 3 plain matzohs
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

    2. Toss the apples with the brown sugar and orange juice, set aside in a medium bowl.

    3. Break the matzoh into 2- to 3-inch pieces and soak in 1 cup of warm water until soft but not mushy. Set aside.

    4. While the matzoh soaks, beat the eggs with a wire whisk in a large bowl until blended. Add the salt, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.

    5. Squeeze the liquid from the softened matzoh and add the matzoh to the egg mixture with the apples. Stir the kugel well and pour into a lightly greased casserole dish or a 9×9-inch pan.

    6. Bake the kugel for 1 hour.
