Ingredients
•
1 (8 ounce) package broad egg noodles
•
2 tablespoons butter
•
3 eggs, separated
•
1 cup white sugar
•
2 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
•
1/2 cup chopped almonds
•
1/4 cup raisins
•
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
2
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes; drain well. Place cooked noodles into a large bowl; toss with butter.
3
Beat egg whites in a bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form; set meringue aside. Whisk egg yolks together in a separate bowl until smooth, then stir in sugar until well combined.
4
Pour egg yolk mixture over noodles; stir in apples, almonds, raisins, and cinnamon until evenly combined. Gently fold in meringue, trying to keep as much volume as possible. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until kugel is browned and center is set, about 30 minutes.
