Apricot and Apple Kugel

 Print This Recipe
Makes: 24 squares

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dried apricots
• 6 eggs, beaten (or 4 eggs plus 4 egg whites)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 6 apples, peeled and grated
• 1/2 cup matzo meal
• Juice of 1 fresh lemon (3 tbs.)
• 2 tbs. sugar mixed with 1 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Soak the dried apricots in hot water for 5 minutes, drain well and cut into pieces.

In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs with sugar and mix well using an electric hand mixer. Add the grated apples, matzo meal and lemon juice to the egg mixture and mix using a wooden spoon.

Pour half of the mixture into a lightly greased aluminum tin foil pan or glass-baking dish (approx. 8”x10”). Arrange the apricots in a single layer over the batter. Spread evenly the remaining batter on top of the apricots. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar before baking.

Bake at 350°F for 1 hour, until golden. This freezes well! I cut into squares first, then place in a freezer baggie and lay flat.
