Creamy Matzo-Apple Kugel

Recipe By : Sharon Lebewohl and Rena Bulkin
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Jewish, Fruits, Kugel

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
plus
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
4 McIntosh apples -- peeled, cored, and
-- cut into 3/4-inch
-- slices, 1/4-inch
-- thick
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup sliced blanched almonds
10 squares plain unsalted matzo
4 eggs -- beaten
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
softened butter for greasing pan
confectioners' sugar

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)
