For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture. To plump the raisins, soak them in warm water for about 15 minutes, then drain well before adding them to the recipe. Toast the almonds by spreading them on a baking sheet and baking them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Watch them closely, as they can burn easily. The type of apple you use can impact the flavor of the kugel. Tart apples like Granny Smith will add a nice contrast to the sweetness, while sweeter apples like Honeycrisp or Gala will enhance the overall sweetness.
