I have been making this, my own, version of matzoh kugel (pudding) every Passover for at least 40 years and it is always a hit with family and friends, especially good as a side dish accompaniment with poultry.
Ingredients
- 3
- matzos
- 6
- eggs, well beaten
- 1/2-3/4 c
- sugar
- 1/2 tsp
- salt
- 1/2 tsp
- cinnamon
- 1 1/2 c
- raisins, any type note: may use craisins for a change.
- 4 large
- apples (any type, but i like delicious), peeled or partially peeled
- 1 large
- orange, zest only
- 1/2 c
- almonds, chopped or sliced
- 4+ Tbsp
- cinnamon-sugar mixture
- 1/2 c
- butter or margarine, melted
How to Make Matzo-Apple-Orange Kugel
- 1Break matzohs coarsely. Soak them in water just until soft (about 1 minute). squeeze out excess water. (DO NOT OVER SOAK!)
- 2In very large bowl, stir together the matzos and next 9 ingredients. Place in well-greased (or sprayed with Pam) baking pan or casserole dish. Sprinkle top with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Note: The orange rind is a must! Add extra for even more flavor. - 3Drizzle butter or margarine over top if desired. Bake at 350 until firm and browned (about 45 minutes).
- 4Note: This freezes well. I use the large slits of a hand grater, but you can use a food processor for speedier prep time.
