80 minThis is where two beloved Jewish comfort foods meet in one gorgeous baking dish: tzimmes and kugel, together at last.
Grated Granny Smith apples, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, and carrots create a colorful base studded with golden raisins and brightened with fresh lemon and orange juice concentrate.
Cinnamon and sugar sweeten everything up, matzo meal binds it all together, and an hour in the oven turns the top golden and caramelized while the center stays soft and tender.
It’s a Passover and holiday table staple that even the pickiest eaters reach for seconds of.
Kitchen Tips
- Grate everything in the food processor for speed. It makes quick work of the apples and potatoes
- Stir in the lemon juice right after grating to keep the apples and potatoes from browning
- Chop the carrots and lemon chunk fine with the steel blade for even distribution
- Drizzle the extra margarine over the top before baking for a gorgeous golden crust
- Let it rest for 10 minutes after baking so it firms up for easier slicing
