Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
-
Grease eight 6-ounce custard cups with the remaining margarine (about 1/4 teaspoon per cup) and set aside.
-
In a small bowl, combine the broken matzo pieces with the water and let soak for 5-10 minutes until softened. Drain any excess water if necessary.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of margarine with the brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg yolks to the margarine mixture and beat until well combined.
-
Stir in the soaked matzo, shredded apples, diced prunes, lemon juice, and cinnamon until evenly distributed. Set aside.
-
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the fruit and matzo batter until just combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
-
Spoon approximately 1/8 of the batter into each prepared custard cup.
-
Bake for 35 minutes, or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the kugels to cool in the cups for 5 minutes.
-
Loosen the edges with a spatula, transfer to a wire rack, and cool completely before serving.
