Yakityak's Apple Walnut Kugel
Meat
Ingredients
- 1 package Manishewitz extra wide egg noodles (12 oz.)
- 4 whole large eggs separated
- 2 tblsp oil (grapeseed or extra light)
- 2 tblsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 large granny smith apple peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 cup broken walnuts
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground allspice
- schmaltz for greasing (or coconut oil if you wish to keep it pareve)
Method
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Cook noodles as directed on the package and drain. Combine egg yolks, oil, sugar and salt and beat very well. Fold into noodles. Add in fruits, nuts and spices, and mix well. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry, and fold in gently. Pour into a well greased 13X9X2 glass pan and bake for 45 minutes or until top is browned.
Notes
Schmaltz and coconut oils have distinctive flavors they add subtly to the recipe. If you want something truly neutral, try vegetable shortening. But I'm of the opinion that the recipe benefits from the subtle flavoring of either schmaltz or coconut.
