Pumpkin Apple Kugel

My Shabbos taste testers lamented about why Yidden serve cake as a side dish. “It’s a kugel,” I insisted. Even though it really hurts me to call this a kugel, it’s not a cobbler, crisp, or a buckle. It has cake batter and fresh fruit, true, but…I lowered the sugar by choosing Granny Smith apples over pears and pumpkin puree over sweet potato. (Feel free to swap them out.) And it worked! Even Mrs. Gordon said so.

I have a feeling a 9x13 may be a little big (but I'm not sure)..I think I would try a 9x9.

Dimensions of the dish roughly? Would 9x13 work or more loaf pan or casserole dish (like the picture)? Thanks!

This was so good! I used a casserole dish, dimensions roughly: 10.5" x 8". Baked for about 35min.
