Apple-Pear-Cranberry Kugel | My Jewish Learning

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Peel and core the apples and pears, and cut them in half. Put them in a pan with the cranberries, and the raisins, if you are using them. Add the wine or water and cover.

Step 3

Cook on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the apples fall apart. Mash the fruit into large chunks with a fork and add both sugars.

Step 4

Cook over medium-low heat for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool. When the mixture has cooled a bit, add the egg yolks to the pan and stir well.

Step 5

Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the fruit mixture.

Step 6

Pour into an oiled or buttered baking dish and bake for about 40-50 minutes, or until the top browns.

Step 7

Serve hot or at room temperature.
