From Our Jewish Cooking Expert

Honey Crusted Apple Kugel (dairy)

serves 25-30

Kefir, originally made from camel’s milk, is now produced from cow’s milk. It has the taste and texture of liquid yogurt and is available plain or flavored in supermarket dairy departments. May substitute cinnamon for Chinese 5-spice if preferred.

1 pound thin vermicelli, cooked and drained

4 eggs

1 1/2 cups kefir

2 teaspoons Chinese 5-spice

1 cup diced mixed dried fruits (apricots, apples, raisins)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cans (21 ounce each) apple pie filling

1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter or margarine, melted

1 cup granola

about 1/4 cup honey to drizzle

Spray a 10x12x3 –inch aluminum foil baking pan or a very large deep baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the cooked vermicelli over the bottom. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, kefir and Chinese 5-spice. Add the dried fruits, lemon juice, apple pie filling and melted butter or margarine. Stir to mix. Pour over the vermicelli. With a wooden spoon, fold the fruit and kefir mixture into the vermicelli.

Sprinkle the granola over and drizzle with honey.

Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until firm in center. Serve at room temperature.
