Modern Jewish Low Fat Kugel image

This noodle kugel is a sweet casserole that feels like comfort food (especially if you are of Jewish heritage) yet is low fat and lower sugar than the average sweet kugel. I use the low-fat dairy and egg substitute to give it a richer flavor, but it tastes great made with nonfat ingredients as well. Enjoy! I developed it in honor of my beloved Grandma Sylvia.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package yolk-free egg noodles
1 (16 ounce) container low-fat sour cream
1 (16 ounce) container low-fat cottage cheese
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
3 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup orange juice
½ cup dried cranberries
5 tablespoons butter, melted
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup applesauce
½ orange, zested
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.
