Chunky Apple Kugel


It  dawned upon me that I like my apple dishes with chunks of apples opposed to sliced or shredded apples or even find diced.  I love those bigger pieces that you can bit into.  I too this recipe and altered the cut of the fruit and frankly, I think it is much better.  

 Actually, it was delicious when made Sara's way with sliced apples but we like it chunked that much better.

 I serve this as a side dish but I am sure others use it as a dessert.  If you would serve apple pie, why not apple kugel?

Chunky Apple Kugel adapted from Sara Finkel's The Complete Yom Tov Cookbook

 Ingredients:

6 tart apples peeled and cut into chunks (at least one half inch)
4 eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup gluten-free flour mixture
handful of golden raisins
1/3 cup chopped nuts (Sara suggests pecans but I didn't have any)
Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray 9 by 13 pan.

Combine the oil, sugar, cinnamon and eggs together. 

Stir in flour and baking powder.

Fold in apple chunks, raisins and nuts.  Mix together.

Place in prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees F 45 - 50 minutes.

    I like chunky apple dishes too, Chaya. The chunkier the better, lol...I haven't had Kugel in years though. Yours looks mighty fine to be!

    Thank you so much for sharing, Chaya...

    P.S. We'replaying the Picnic Game over at my blog. If you're up to playing, we'd love to have you!!!

      Hi Chaya,

      I'm so delighted that you will be joining us once again this year. I just wasn't sure if you were up to it or not. The letters that are still available are: I, J, N, O, U, V and Y. I would much rather you choose one. Thank you so much Chaya. Just let me know!

    Chunky sounds good to me, too. I would like this for dessert. Maybe with a scoop of ice cream!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
