Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces matzoh sheets
- 4 whole eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cups white sugar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 large apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.5 cups dried tart cherries
- 4 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoons optional powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Break the matzoh sheets into medium-sized pieces and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Pour the warm water over the matzoh pieces to soften them. Let them sit for about 5 minutes, then drain any excess water and gently squeeze out the liquid from the matzoh pieces.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add the melted butter, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Mix until well combined.
Fold the softened matzoh pieces into the egg mixture until fully coated.
Add the diced apples and dried tart cherries into the matzoh mixture. Stir gently to evenly distribute the fruit throughout.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
Remove the kugel from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy this comforting Cherry Apple Matzoh Kugel with family and friends!
