Ingredients
- 5 sheets matzoh
- 6 medium apples
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Break the matzoh sheets into small pieces and place them in a large bowl. Pour the warm water over the matzoh, let them soak for 2-3 minutes until softened, then drain thoroughly and set aside.
Step 3
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss the apple slices in a separate bowl with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
Step 5
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave, then pour it into the egg mixture and stir well.
Step 6
Add the softened matzoh, apples, and raisins into the egg mixture. Mix gently to combine without mashing the matzoh.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top if desired.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature!
