Vegan Apple Kugel Recipe
Report
Soft, custardy apple kugel with a crisp, cinnamon-dusted top and serious “just one more bite” energy. No weird ingredients, no complicated steps—just a nostalgic, spiced apple bake that you can (and should) eat for breakfast, dessert, and anytime in between.

Ingredients
For the Apples:
- 3 large apples peeled and thinly sliced (top choices: granny smith, pink lady, or honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
For the Kugel:
- ¼ cup egg replacer powder
- ½ cup vegan butter room temperature
- 1 cup apple sauce
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
To serve:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup vegan butter thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar optional
- maple syrup to taste optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss the thin apple slices with flour, brown sugar and nutmeg until they are evenly coated.
- Either in a medium bowl using a hand mixer, or in a stand mixer with a whip attachment, cream together the egg replacer powder, and vegan butter until smooth.
- Add the applesauce, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix for about 60 seconds until well combined.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix with a rubber spatula, or with the paddle attachment if using a stand mixer for 20-30 seconds, just until no dry spots remain.
- Arrange most of the sliced apples in the prepared baking dish. Save 4-6 slices to place on top of the kugel.
- Spread the batter evenly over the apples, smoothing the top with a wet offset spatula.
- Top the kugel with a few reserved slices of seasoned apples.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and while still warm, dust with cinnamon and dot with the thinly sliced pats of vegan butter, allowing it to melt over the surface.
- If desired, dust with powdered sugar and serve with warm maple syrup on the side.

Notes
- 🍏 The Tart Side of the Fruit
- Granny Smith, Pink Lady, or Honeycrisp apples hold their shape and balance the sweetness perfectly. Red Delicious? Mealy, flavorless, and best left on the store shelf.

- ⏰ It’s About Time
- Start checking at 35 minutes. Rotate the pan and switch racks if your oven heats unevenly. It’s done when a toothpick comes out clean.
