MY GRANDMOTHER'S APPLE KUGEL By a Holocaust survivor's granddaughter
This recipe reminded me of the wonderful and fun times I had with my mother when we picked fresh apples together. My mother would forget to bring the basket, so I would pick the apples as she held out her apron to carry back to our home. The smell of this baking was amazing, and even now, when I make it, I think of my mother and grandmother. The soft scent of apples. The desire to eat it as soon as it came out of the oven. The sweetness. All good memories from a time before the horrors of the Holocaust. This recipe is good all year round, including Pesach. It is my favorite and I want to share it with you.
