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 

Mom’s Sweet Matzo Kugel

Ingredients

Batter

5 matzo boards

2 apples

2 eggs, beaten

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp sugar

Filling

4 apples

juice of 1 lemon

3/4 cup raisins

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup pitted prunes

1/2 dried apricots

Directions

Preheat oven to 350f

Grease an 8 inch pan  This recipe does not make a lot of batter so use a small baking pan

  1. Soak the matzo boards until soft, squeeze out the moisture & put into a bowl
  2. Grate the 2 apples, you can leave the skin on & add to the matzo
  3. Add the eggs, cinnamon, salt, sugar & lemon rind & oil. Mix well, this is the batter
  4. Put 1/2  of the batter into the prepared pan, reserving the rest of the batter
  5. For the filling, peel & thinly slice the apples
  6. Combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, raisins, sugar, prunes & apricots together
  7. Put onto the batter base, then top with remaining batter
  8. Bake until brown & fruit is soft, approx 45 minutes

Enjoy!

Many people ask me "how did you do that?" "will you show me how?' So I decided to make a blog about what I cook and bake. I am in no way a professional cook, but I love to feed people and try new things as well as making the "old foods" My friends are wonderful cooks, each with their own 'specialty' and i will be having guest cooks here, showcasing their favourite things to cook as well!! I hope you enjoy this blog and maybe decide to make some of these foods yourself! I am always available to answer any questions you might have about anything you see here. Some of my recipes are unique to me but most are not. They are all recipes I have found in a variety of ways, some are old family recipes that date back decades and some are new ones!
