Ingredients
- 6 sheets matzo
- 1 cup hot water
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cups raisins
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 spritz cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
Break the matzo sheets into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot water over the matzo and let it soak for 2-3 minutes to soften. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Mix in the granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
Step 4
Add the drained matzo pieces to the egg mixture and stir to coat evenly.
Step 5
Gently fold in the sliced apples and raisins until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top.
Step 7
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the surface of the kugel to create a sweet, caramelized topping.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set in the center.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
