Matzo Apple Kugel

What you need:
4 matzo crackers, crushed
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/3 cup applesauce
3 Granny Smith apples - cored, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

What you do with it all:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the crumbled matzos in a medium bowl, and add enough water to cover. Let stand for 2 minutes, then drain off excess water. Do not squeeze.
To the bowl of matzo, add eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, lemon juice and applesauce. Stir to combine. Mix in the apples and dried cranberries. Spread the mixture evenly into a 2 quart casserole dish. Mix together the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top.
Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden, and the apples are soft.

After dessert comments: This was SO GOOD! This recipe should feed about 8, unless you like seconds, then it will feel about 4 or 5. I made it for Passover this last week. I highly recommend it.
