Sweet Potato and Apple Kugel
- 4 eggs
- Salt to taste
- 2 large sweet potatoes (1 3/4 to 2 pounds total), peeled and grated
- 2 slightly tart apples, like Gala or Braeburn, peeled, cored and grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon mild honey or agave nectar
- 3 to 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, as needed
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Butter a 2-quart baking dish
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with salt to taste (I suggest about 1/2 teaspoon).
- Add the grated sweet potatoes and the apples.
- Pour the lime juice over the grated apples and sweet potatoes, then stir everything together.
- Combine the honey and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and stir together, then toss with the sweet potato mixture and combine well
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and place in the oven.
- Bake 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and brush the top of the kugel with melted butter.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes or longer, brushing every 5 minutes with butter.
- The kugel is ready when the edges are browned, the top is browned in spots and the mixture is set.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving
