Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in egg noodles and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well; place cooked noodles into a large bowl and toss with butter.

Step 3

Beat egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form; set meringue aside. Whisk egg yolks in a separate bowl until smooth, then mix in sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Pour egg yolk mixture over noodles; stir in apples, nuts, raisins, and cinnamon until evenly combined. Gently fold in meringue, trying to keep as much volume as possible. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until kugel is browned and the center is set, about 30 minutes.
