Take advantage of the short apricot season and make a few of these delicious kugels for now and later. The combo of tart apricots and sweet apples is amazing and the crumbs are fabulous. This is not as heavy as a noodle kugel and isn’t loaded with oil or sugar either. I love that it tastes equally good served warm cold or room temperature. Feel free to adjust sweetness to your taste. Freezes well.
