Now, all these generations later, my sisters and I always love something that connects us with out Jewish roots on some level. Thanks for the recipe, it is incredible! (your mom is right, I'll stick to less butter and sugar next time, but it's still AMAZING.)

My grandmother also uses pie filling from a can, but she likes apple. I have never liked that so I made my own changes. I add some sour cream and cinnamon to mine. I also add some extra butter/margarine to the top with a little brown sugar and wheat germ to coat the top. I have been working on perfecting Kugle over the last couple of years.

I make a sweet kugel with raisins, apples and nuts. I made some the other day in one of those GT Express cookers and it turned out good. Only takes about 12 mins to cook small individual size ones. I took some to work for some of make goyum (sp) co-workers. I then had to give one the recipe. That was hard since I really don't have one, just got the general idea from my mother. I put together a recipe for him and he is going to have his wife try it. Bottom line, I LOVE KUGEL and will try this one. I will definately have to try this.

I like a sweeter version. I will make the batter and layer batter with warm apricot jelly in 2 or 3 layers and I top it with bits of butter, brown sugar and crushed corn flakes. Yum!

This was amazing, just as I remembered it. I used low fat cottage cheese because that's what I had on hand and it was great. It also halved well - oh, and I added about 1/2 cup of golden raisins. Thanks again for this recipe - glad your mom married into a group with such tasty recipes! ;) I’m not Jewish, but had fond memories of kugel from a bat mitzvah I went to as a child.

After seeing the pictures above, I decided I had to try making this one. I couldn't find large curd cottage cheese, so I went ahead and used the (full fat) small curd. I also added cinnamon and some golden raisins. Since it's just my boyfriend and I, I halved the recipe and cooked it in a glass 8 X 8 pan and it worked great. My boyfriend absolutely raved about it and said it even rivaled his grandmother's. Thank you for sharing such a delicious and easy recipel!

Thanks, Linda ps. I make a version of this with fewer eggs and often add a dollop of sour cream and then cook, but I am looking for the richest recipe for a friend who is fighting cancer. Hi,

In response to those concerned about using full fat products and butter, I refer you to the best research ever done on how to eat healthy: the Weston Price Foundation (you can google and find their site.) According to the foundation's research and the book "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan, fat does not make us fat. Butter is actually one of the healthiest things you can eat. If you want to be concerned about diet, look more to reducing white flour and sugar. I followed the information put out by the Weston Price Foundation and lost weight eating full-fat plain yogurt, milk, raw cheeses, butter, coconut oil, avocado, sprouted nuts, grains & granola, delicious rice pasta, meats and much more... Happy eating all! To answer the person above’s query about kids — I can tell you they love it!
