Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.
