Apple Noodle Kugel
Ingredients
  • 4 cups egg noodles
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, or more to taste
  • 1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 firm, tart apples - cored, quartered, and thinly sliced
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat your oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius for those using metric measurements).
2
Next, lightly coat an 8-inch square baking dish with a thin layer of cooking oil or non-stick spray to prevent the kugel from sticking during baking.
3
Then, fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt to the water. Bring the water to a rolling boil, which should take around 10-15 minutes.
4
Once the water has reached its boiling point, add your egg noodles and stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. Continue cooking the noodles until they are done but still retain a bit of firmness when bitten into, approximately 5 minutes.
5
After the noodles have finished cooking, drain them in a colander to remove excess water.
6
Then, use an electric mixer to cream together softened cream cheese and brown sugar in a bowl until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
7
Next, incorporate cottage cheese, egg, egg whites, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the cream cheese mixture using your electric mixer until all ingredients are fully combined.
8
After that, use your hands to gently fold in the cooked noodles and chopped apples into the cheese mixture until they are evenly distributed.
9
Finally, transfer the kugel mixture to the prepared baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45-50 minutes, or until the kugel is lightly browned and firm to the touch.
