Tips:

Use a variety of apples. This will give your kugel a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
Don't overcook the apples. They should be soft but still hold their shape.
Use a light hand when mixing the ingredients. Overmixing will make the kugel tough.
Bake the kugel until it is golden brown on top. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
Let the kugel cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Matzo apple kugel is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for Passover. It is also a great way to use up leftover matzo. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this kugel is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
