- My grandmother used to make this incredible Apple Kugl for Rosh Hashana.
- She is 91 years old, and this year she is very sick, so for the first time since I was born, she will not be able to cook for us in the Holidays. She taught me how to bake this kugl, I hope everybody enjoys it the way our family did for many, many years. I 'd like to share it with all of you as a tribute to such a great woman, who came to Mexico a few days before all her family was murdered in Lithuania.
- Mix the ingredients and form a soft dough. (if you use a Food Procesor, mix the dry ingredients first, and then slowly add in the liquids). Finish the dough kneadding it with your hands for a few min. Extend the dough with the rolling pin in a big circular shape (aprox. 18 in diameter). Spread the circle with plum preserve (maybe 1 or possibly 1 1/2 jars). till it is very well covered. Peel 4 apples and slice them (not very thin, you may use 2 or possibly 3 more apples depending on their size). Put the apples over the preserves, sprinkle with sugar, cinamon and a little bit of pepper. Roll the strudl very carefully, making a tight roll. Seal the edges with water. Have ready a deep ovenproof large pot, with boiling oil. (about 2/3 c.). Very carefully place the kugl in the oil rolling it (to make it fit in the pot).
- Cover the kugl with boiling water. (yes, water, it will not mess up the dough). Then cover the pot with foil, and put it in the oven for 2 hrs at 400 degrees. Uncover the pot and let it brown a little. Serving: Unmold the kugl, and slice it like a cake. Do not worry the slices will not come out perfect, but the flavor will.
- It sounds difficult, but it's not, and it's worthwhile. I hope everybody tries before Rosh Hashana so you'll be a pro for the Holydays.
