Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- 4 large eggs
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cups raisins (optional)
- 0.25 cups graham cracker crumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, melted butter, sour cream, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Fold the cooked noodles into the egg mixture until well coated.
Gently stir in the thinly sliced apples and raisins (if using).
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
If desired, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over the top for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the kugel is set and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
