Mom’s Sweet Matzo Kugel

Well, this recipe is written on an old white recipe card with no directions.. just ingredients. So I guessed! It turned out nicely. The recipe calls for other fruit, not just apples, but I left out the other fruit since my family would not like the prunes & raisins… but I will put them in the recipe here! The picture does not look great because it is just brown…like almost every kugel dish for passover…but this tastes good!

Here is the recipe
