PASSOVER SWEET KUGEL
I usually don't like Passover kugels and my family only likes sweet kugels...this one fit the bill! If you don't have farfel, it's really just tidbit-size pieces of matzah. I leave out the nuts, but every Passover recipe seems to have them, it's your choice!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x13 baking dish.
- Moisten the matzo farfel by placing in a large bowl, stirring in enough cold water to cover, and rinsing immediately in a colander set in the sink. Mix in beaten eggs, sugar, salt, and margarine until thoroughly combined, and lightly mix in the apples, bananas, and 1/4 cup of ground walnuts. Spoon the kugel into the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of ground walnuts.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the kugel is browned and set in the center, about 1 hour. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Tips:
- Use high-quality matzo meal. Fresh, finely ground matzo meal will produce the best results.
- Do not over-mix the batter. Over-mixing will make the kugel tough.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little bit of water or milk. If the batter is too thin, add a little bit more matzo meal.
- Bake the kugel in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the kugel cooks evenly.
- Do not over-bake the kugel. Over-baking will make the kugel dry and crumbly.
- Let the kugel cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the kugel from falling apart.
