Cherry Apple Matzoh Kugel Recipes

Steps:

• Break matzohs in pieces, soak in water and drain.
• Combine eggs, salt, honey, oil, cinnamon and add to matzoh.
• Mix in nuts, apples and raisins.
• Place in 8- inch square baking dish and bake at 350°F degrees for 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish. Break the matzo sheets into pieces, and soak in a bowl of water until soft. Drain in a colander, mashing to squeeze the water out.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, salt, sugar, oil and cinnamon. Add the soaked matzo, and mix well. Fold in the apples and raisins. Spoon into the prepared baking dish, and spread evenly.
• Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until nicely browned and apples are tender.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and saute apple slices on high heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly browned. Remove to a large bowl with a slotted spoon. Add 2 teaspoons butter to the skillet, lower heat to medium, and quickly saute raisins and almonds, stirring constantly. Be careful not to burn them. Add to bowl with apples, and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place matzo squares in another large bowl, and run cool water over them to soften. Crumble the matzo, and drain in a colander. Return drained matzo to bowl.
• Combine eggs with matzo and stir well. In another bowl, mix sour cream and cream cheese thoroughly. Then add it to the matzo mixture, along with sugar, cinnamon, salt, and fruit-nut mixture. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
• Grease a 10-inch square Pyrex baking pan (or similar) with butter (use quite a bit), pour mixture into pan, and bake for 50 minutes or until top is a light golden brown. Let cool on counter. Loosen sides with a knife, place a large platter over the baking pan, and carefully turn the kugel out onto the platter. If any pieces stick in the pan, just put them in place. When cooled, sprinkle top with confectioners' sugar (best done through a sieve or sifter). YOu can serve this kugel warm (not hot) or at room temperature, but we like it best chilled in the refrigerator with the confectioners' sugar added just prior to serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and oil. Add the sugar, matzo, potato starch, and salt and mix until blended. Stir in the apples.
• Spray a 2 1/2-inch by 3 1/4-inch muffin tin with non-stick spray. Fill 3/4 full with the batter and dust with the cinnamon sugar. Bake until the tops spring back when pressed, about 15 to 18 minutes.
• Cool on a rack and remove from the tin when they are at room temperature.

Steps:

• Add hot water to matzo in medium bowl; stir. Let stand 15 min.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Beat 4 oz. cream cheese, eggs, sugar and cinnamon in large bowl with mixer until blended. Drain matzo; squeeze out excess water. Add matzo to cream cheese mixture; mix well. Stir in fruit.
• Spoon half the batter into 12 muffin pan cups sprayed with cooking spray. Cut remaining cream cheese into 12 pieces. Place 1 cream cheese piece in center of batter in each muffin cup; cover with remaining batter.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until edges are crisp and tops are lightly browned. Cool 15 min. before removing from pan to serve.

• Squeeze the liquid from the softened matzoh and add the matzoh to the egg mixture with the apples. Stir the kugel well and pour into a lightly greased casserole dish . Dot the top of the kugel with butter chunks.
• Bake the kugel for 1 hour. (Cover the top with foil if the top begins to becomes too brown early in the baking).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the crumbled matzos in a medium bowl, and add enough water to cover. Let stand for 2 minutes, then drain off excess water. Don't squeeze.
• To the bowl of matzo, add eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, lemon juice and applesauce. Stir to combine. Mix in the apples and dried cranberries. Spread the mixture evenly into a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Mix together the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top.
• Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden, and the apples are soft.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with vegetable shortening.
• Beat egg whites in a metal, glass, or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Set aside.
• Place the egg yolks, oil, and orange juice into a mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy and thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of sugar, mixing well, then lightly stir in the matzo cake meal and salt. Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold about 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the matzo meal mixture. Gently run the spatula through the center of the mixture, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining egg whites, folding until just incorporated.
• Mix together 3/4 cup of sugar with cinnamon in a bowl. Spread half the batter into the prepared baking pan; distribute the apple quarters evenly over the batter. Sprinkle the apple pieces with about 1/2 cup of the sugar-cinnamon mixture, spread the remaining batter over the apples; sprinkle the remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture over the top of the cake.
