Ingredients

• 16 Ounces (oz) package egg noodles, packaged
• 0.5 Cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 Cups unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 Cup white sugar

• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon, ground

• 0.5 Cup golden raisins
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook the egg noodles until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine the hot noodles with the melted butter, stirring until the butter is fully absorbed.
4. Add the applesauce, sugar, whisked eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the noodles. Mix until well combined. For added sweetness and texture, fold in the golden raisins.
5. Transfer the noodle mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle a generous pinch of cinnamon on top for a fragrant finish.
6. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
7. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
8. Allow the kugel to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of this classic dish.
