Recipe

Cran-Apple Crunch Kugel

Nobody will suspect you didn't spend half an hour peeling and slicing apples! The fresh, tart cranberries will totally throw them off, and they're the perfect balance to the super sweet pie filling.

Times

  • Prep Time : 4 min min
  • Cook Time : 45 min
  • Ready Time : 49 min

Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 (21-ounce) can Comstock apple pie filling
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries

  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup margarine, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  2. Place apple pie filling and cranberries in prepared dish, mix to combine and smooth into an even layer.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together sugars, flour, margarine and cinnamon until crumbly. Sprinkle over apple-cranberry mixture.

    Hi, I love this website except for one problem that a lot of the ready to use products can not be found outside of the states. For e.g we dont have appli pie filling for the above recipes. would you recommend to bake fresh apples and use those instead or apple sauce? Thanks for all the great recipes.

      Hi Liba – where are you writing from? you best bet here is to peel and slice fresh apples and toss them in a GENEROUS amount of brown sugar. Apple pie filling is super gooey and sweet and since the cranberries are tart the sugar will make the dish edible. Alternatively if you happen to have whole berry cranberry sauce available use a can of that instead of fresh or frozen cranberries and then your fresh apple slices lightly coated with some sugar to taste.

    Can you use a can of whole berry sauce and a can of apple pie filling instead of fresh apples or will this be too sweet??

    • avatar Jamie Geller says:

      it will be very sweet but not too sweet I don’t think — assuming you like SWEET :-)

    Hi Jamie. We live in Geneva, Switzerland and there are little to none basic kosher ingredients. We dont have any of the ready made sauces like whole berry cranberry. The few things imported are extremeley expensive so here being strictly kosher is very inconvenient. I have to make everything from scratch and fresh natural ingredients. It is healthier but very time consuming. I am also only starting to learn how to cook and need very easy basic ingredients and recipes for entertaining on Shabbos. Thanks again for all the tips and great recipes.

    hi jamie, Ive tryed looking for frozen n fresh cranberrrys cant find it in any markert. Can i use OceanSpray craisins?

    • avatar Jamie Geller says:

      wow I am so surprised… ok — you could of course try but I never have so I can’t promise how it would come out — the great thing about the fresh/frozen is that they are not sweetened like dried so the tartness really balances out the super sweet pie filling. You could of course try blueberries, but they omit alot more liquid than the cranberries and don’t have that “tart” bite we are looking for. I think whole berry cranberry sauce would be better than the dried — but that’s just a somewhat educated guess.

      Yaffa thank you! I really appreciate your “love”. I actually use earth balance for everything — not smart balance — maybe double check the measurements for the topping — am assuming you saw the vid since you said you watched them all but just in case here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MdkvO_g9S4&feature=plcp
