Grandma's Noodle Kugel Recipe: A Sweet and Savory Delight

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package broad egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 eggs, separated
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
• 0.5 cup chopped almonds
• 0.25 cup raisins
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish to prevent sticking.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add egg noodles and cook until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain the noodles thoroughly and transfer them to a large bowl. Toss with butter until well coated.
3. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set the meringue aside. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks until smooth, then gradually whisk in sugar until fully incorporated.
4. Pour the egg yolk mixture over the noodles and gently stir to combine. Add apples, almonds, raisins, and cinnamon, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Carefully fold in the meringue, being mindful to preserve its volume. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the kugel is golden brown and the center is firm, approximately 30 minutes.
