Description

Kugel, a traditional Jewish noodle custard dish, can be either sweet or savory, and this version is rich and sweet with apples, golden raisins, and cinnamon.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) bag egg noodles
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
12 ounces farmer cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
6 large eggs, beaten
1 large apple - peeled, cored, and diced
1/4 cup golden raisins, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
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, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3 While noodles are cooking, mix sour cream, cheese, sugar, and butter together in a large bowl. Add eggs, apple, and raisins. Add drained egg noodles and cinnamon; stir until well combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until slightly golden brown and custard has set, about 1 hour. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
