it can be frozen. I like to bake it about 10 minutes less than done. then when you defrost and re-bake it tastes very fresh and yummy.

I don't know for sure how long it lasts in the fridge, but I would imagine for sure 2 days.

enjoy baking.

I've made this kugel & kept it in the freezer for about 4 months. It freezes beautifully. When I was ready to bake it, I took it out of the freezer & put it directly in the oven to bake. It was amazing! You couldn't tell that it was frozen beforehand!
Are you talking about the apple/cranberry kugel with oatmeal? That's the one I'm talking about.

I forgot to mention that I only assemble it, then put it in the frezer completely raw. I bake it fully before serving.

henya thanks, but I thought and I actually tried a kugel with just cranberries, unless im not remembering right is there such a recipe?

20 apples???? Are you sure, ? what size pan do you bake that in Shocked

It sounds like an awful lot of apples to peel and slice.

I have a similar recipe and it calls for 5 baking apples for one can of cranberry sauce.

The apples don't turn brown if not baked? I've frozen this baked & it's great. Also it lasts for about a week inthe fridge.

The recipe I use is 1 can of sauce to 4 or five apples. 20 sounds like a tremendous amount! 1 can is not enough sauce for that many apples.

Yes! you read correct! 1 can cranberry sauce for 20 appples. It is a big recipe. It makes 3-4 square dishes-depending on how high you want it. I usually make this big recipe, use 1 kugel & freeze the rest. It's 20 apples for 1 can cranberry sauce because otherwise we find it too sweet.

This is the recipe I use, it's great! I usually make it in a corningware, not lasagna as big as a lasagna sized foil pan.

CRANBERRY APPLE KUGEL
1 cup. jellied cranberry sauce
6 Macintosh apples
1/4 cup. flour
1/3 cup. sugar
Topping:

3/4 cup. oats
1/2 cup. flour
1/2 cup. brown sugar
1/2 cup. melted margarine
Cinnamon, to taste
Mix cranberry sauce, flour, and sugar. Peel, core, and slice apples thinly. Mix the apples into the cranberry mixture. Put apple mixture into a ungreased 8" pan.

Combine topping ingredients and spoon over kugel. Bake in a 350 degrees F oven for 45 minutes. Serve cold.
