Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sheets matzoh
- 3 medium apples
- 1 cup dried apricots
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup water
- 1 pinch salt
- as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Break the matzoh sheets into small pieces and place them in a large bowl. Pour 1 cup of water over the matzoh to soften. Let it sit for a few minutes, then drain off any excess water.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. Add them to the bowl with the softened matzoh.
Chop the dried apricots into bite-sized pieces and add them, along with the cranberries, to the bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the matzoh and fruit mixture. Gently toss to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the kugel is golden brown and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares or scooping to serve.
Enjoy your Fantastic Apple Cranberry Apricot Matzoh Kugel as a delightful side dish or dessert, either warm or at room temperature.
