From: jkirsch@intercable.net (Jacobo Kirsch) Date: Mon, 5 Aug 1996 13:34:40 -0600 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. JEWISH-FOOD digest 302 From the Jewish Food recipe list.
