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
won't 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 the
liquids). Finish the dough kneadding it with your hands for a few
minutes. 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 1 1/2 jars). until it is very well covered. Peel 4
apples and slice them (not very thin, you may use 2 or 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 cup). 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 won't mess
up the dough). Then cover the pot with foil, and put it in the oven
for 2 hours at 400 degrees. Uncover the pot and let it brown a
little. Serving: Unmold the kugl, and slice it like a cake. Don't
worry the slices won't 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.
