Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Fold the cooked noodles into the egg mixture, making sure the noodles are evenly coated.
Add the sliced apples and gently stir to incorporate.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal, brown sugar, and melted butter for the topping, mixing until it forms a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the noodle and apple mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the kugel is set and the topping is golden brown.
Allow the kugel to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
