TRADITIONAL APPLE NOODLE KUGEL
Sweet apple and noodle dish of east European origin. Kugels can be made in many flavors, both sweet and savory. Serve either warm or cold, as a side dish or a dessert. Like lasagna, kugel tastes better the day after it is made. Jonagold and Rome Beauty are two apple varieites ideal for this dish.

NOODLE AND APPLE KUGEL
This comforting kugel tastes much richer than it is, and it is certainly lighter than a traditional kugel (though it is not a low-calorie dessert). I've made this with Golden Delicious apples and with tarter varieties like Pink Lady; I liked it both ways.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Begin heating a large pot of water.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the apples. Cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, until they begin to color and are slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- When the water comes to a boil, add salt to taste and the noodles. Cook al dente, a little firmer than you would want them if you were eating them right away. Drain through a colander and add to the pan with the apples (if using long flat noodles, cut them first with a scissors into shorter lengths). Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and toss together until the butter melts. Stir in the optional raisins. Set aside.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the sugar and beat together until the mixture is thick. Beat in the yogurt, vanilla, rum, nutmeg and about 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste. Add the noodles and apples and fold everything together. Scrape into the prepared baking dish. Push the pasta down into the egg and yogurt mixture (it will not be completely submerged, but try to cover as much as you can). Place in the oven and bake 40 to 45 minutes, until the kugel is set and the sides are browned. There will always be some noodles on top that brown and become quite hard. You can remove these from the baked dish if you wish. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

CREAMY APPLE NOODLE KUGEL
Since it uses applesauce as well as fresh apples it is very moist, easy and quick preparation, and great apple taste. When I am in a really big hurry, I just double the applesauce and don't bother with the fresh apples.

Steps:
- 1. Put eggs and sour cream into a bowl and mix on medium speed until combined. Mix in 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter and the softened cream cheese. Set aside.
- 2. Heat 2 tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in 2 tbsp. sugar, 1/2 tsp.cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. nutmeg. Add apples; gently toss to coat. Cook, tossing occasionally, until soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
- 3. Stir apples and raisins into egg mixture; pour over noodles. Toss gently to combine. Pour into greased 9 X 13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
- 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Granny Smith apples are a popular choice for apple kugel because they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that pairs well with the sweet noodles. However, you can use any type of apple you like. If you use a sweeter apple, you may want to reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
- Don't overcook the noodles: The noodles should be cooked until they are al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the kugel will not hold together well.
- Use a baking dish that is large enough: The kugel will rise during baking, so it is important to use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate it. A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good size for this recipe.
- Serve the kugel warm: Apple kugel is best served warm, fresh from the oven. You can also reheat it in the microwave or oven if you have leftovers.
Conclusion:
Apple noodle kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover apples. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a new family favorite.
