This sweet Apple Noodle Kugel recipe is perfect for celebrating Jewish holidays! Sour cream, cottage cheese, and a cinnamon-sugar topping help make this a perfect comfort food dish.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish with butter or baking spray.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles for 4 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, Whisk together the butter, cottage cheese, sour cream, sugar, eggs, and cinnamon. Stir in the noodles, raisins and chopped apples.
Prepare the topping: in a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon and salt using a fork.
Pour filling into the prepared casserole dish, and top evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake until custard is set and top is golden brown, approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
Notes
Noodle kugel can be prepared up to 48 hours in advance. Reheat it at 300 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, or until warm in the center. Alternately, you can prepare the recipe up to Step 5 (omitting the cinnamon sugar topping). Cover the casserole dish and refrigerate unbaked for up to 24 hours, then add the topping and bake it just before serving.Adapted from Dave Liberman
