Scrumptious No-Cow Koogle Apple Recipe:

Recipe:

A retro food generally synonymous with the Jewish restaurant menu, Koogle is a comforting, sweet noodle pudding with which all of us who have to bear restrictions on dairy products can indulge. This gluten-free version promises the same flavor as its original counterpart and serves many diets’ necessities. In this post, we’ll walk you through the recipe for making step-by-step Koogle Apple, talk about the history of Koogle, and answer the most common questions.

What is Koogle?

Recipe:

Google- or rather, kugel-is a baked casserole generally made of egg noodles, potatoes, and sometimes rice. It can be sweet or savory, but the more common use of kugel is as a sweet dish for breakfast or dessert. The sweet versions usually use sugar, cinnamon, and fruits, making it a pretty tasty dish.

Koogle is a classic Eastern European Ashkenazi Jewish dish, essentially a leftover. The mixture was what made noodles or potatoes sweet and appetizing. Throughout the years, several generations adapted the recipe and used accessible ingredients plus added personal touches. Google with dairy-free is now possible for so many more people in this modern generation when they may have other uses such as religious or specific diets.

Ingredients:

For the Koogle:

• 12 oz. wide egg noodles, or a gluten-free alternative
  
• 3 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best), peeled and sliced
  
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  
• 1 cup almond milk, or other plant-based milk
  
• 4 large eggs
  
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
  
• teaspoon vanilla extract
  
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or dairy-free butter
  
• Pinch of salt

• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
  
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
  
• ¼ cup Chopped nuts optional for some added crunch

Recipe:

Step 1: Prepare the Noodles

Cook the Noodles: Put a big pot of salted water to boil. Add the egg noodles. Follow the package instructions for cooking time, until al dente. Drain, then set the noodles aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Apples

Topping Preparation: Add sliced apples to a large bowl along with cinnamon sprinkled over, mix well, and add in a tablespoon of sugar. You will find that this gets some of the natural juices out of your apples and flavors it.

Step 3: Mix the Batter

1. Combine Ingredients: Beat the last ingredient in the other large bowl together. Use the stand (electric mixer) with applesauce, almond milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of salt.
   
2. Combine with Noodles: Fold cooked noodles and prepared apples gently into the mixture. Everything should get coated.
   

Step 4: Bake the Koogle

1. Prep the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
   
2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with coconut oil or dairy-free butter.
   
3. Pour Mixture: Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing evenly.
   
4. Prepare Topping: Mix cornflakes (or granola), brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts; sprinkle over the noodle mixture.
   
5. Bake: Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 45-55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To check, insert a knife into the center of the bud. When done it should have come out clean.
   

Cool and Serve Step 5

1. Cool: Let the Koogle cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This way, flavors will meld together and be easier to cut through.
   
2. Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature. Serve plain or topped with a dollop of non-dairy yogurt or whipped coconut cream.
   

Tips for the Perfect Koogle:

Recipe:

You’ll discover that the taste of your meal varies with the kind of apples you select. For instance, using tart apples like Granny Smith will provide the right variation between the dish’s sweetness and tartness:

1. More flavor: You can add raisins or dried cranberries to add sweetness and other forms of texture to your meal.
   
2. Tweak the sweetness: You can always adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. You can use maple syrup or coconut sugar instead of sugar.
   
3. Plan: This Koogle can be made a day ahead. Simply refrigerate it then bake and serve.
   
4. Freezer-friendly: Freezers can also store leftovers. Just make sure to cover it well. Reheat at 350°F until it is warmed through.
