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.
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup Gefen Canola Oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
1 cup Glicks Flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut into small chunks (not diced)
cinnamon, for sprinkling
2 tablespoons chopped candied pecans or almonds (optional)
Mix pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and set aside. Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Combine wet and dry ingredients.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Lay apples in an oven-to-table dish and sprinkle with cinnamon. Pour batter over fruit. Scatter nuts over batter, if desired. Bake for 30–40 minutes, depending on how wide and deep your dish is.

I have a feeling a 9×13 may be a little big (but I’m not sure)..I think I would try a 9×9.
Dimensions of the dish roughly? Would 9×13 work or more loaf pan or casserole dish (like the picture)? Thanks!
I think more of a casserole shape dish as per the image!
This was so good! I used a casserole dish, dimensions roughly: 10.5″ x 8″. Baked for about 35min.
I also only used 2 apples
My guests absolutely loved this recipe and it was simple to make.
can you use gf flour?
freezable?
