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.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, sour cream, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Mix in the vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter until fully incorporated.
Fold in the cooked noodles, raisins, and ground cinnamon until the noodles are evenly coated with the mixture.
Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans or walnuts, brown sugar, and melted butter to form a crumble-like topping.
Sprinkle the nut topping evenly over the noodle mixture.

Allow the kugel to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
