Marty Adler always said Adler’s Bakery was the best in Windsor—and for nearly 40 years, it was known for its cheesecake, rye bread, and incredible pastries. One of Marty’s personal favorites was rugelach.

He’d bake them from time to time—not just because they were delicious, but because they brought back the joy and connection of his family’s bakery days. Much like Marty himself, rugelach is a little nostalgic, a little nutty, and totally unforgettable.

Ingredients for
Marty's Favourite Rugelach

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup raisins, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

How to Make
Marty's Favourite Rugelach

  1. Add butter, cream cheese, sour cream, flour, and salt to food processor. Pulse until mixture is crumbly and starts to come together.
  2. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces; shape into flat disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap. Chill in fridge for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days).
  3. Mix together walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. You can add a smidge of melted butter (optional addition by Marty's daughter Marcie). Set aside.
  4. Take 1 dough disk out of the fridge (keep others chilled). Roll into a 9-inch circle on lightly floured surface. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the filling. Gently press filling into dough with hands or rolling pin.
  5. Cut circle into 12 wedges (like pizza). Roll each wedge from wide end to tip (point should be on outside). Place rugelach on ungreased baking sheet, point side down. Repeat with remaining dough.
  6. Chill shaped rugelach for 20 minutes before baking.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake rugelach on center rack for 22–25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool on wire racks.
