My almost-6 year old asked to celebrate Hanukkah this year. Not really knowing what to serve for our celebratory dinner other than latkes and challah bread, I turned to my trusted friend allrecipes.com. I get a lot of ideas for recipes from this site, though I rarely make them as posted. I find recipes with good reviews, read the reviews, then come up with something (hopefully) yummy on my own. I came across a recipe for Applesauce Noodle Kugel that sounded great and decided to put my own twist on it. Here's what I came up with...
Apple Cinnamon Kugel
12 oz (3/4 package) wide egg noodles, boiled until al dente
1-1/2 sticks melted butter, divided
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup applesauce
2 small apples, thinly sliced
cinnamon, to taste
6-8 graham crackers, crushed
Preheat oven to 350 degrees while noodles are boiling.
Mix melted butter (reserving a few tablespoons), yogurt, eggs, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and applesauce
Stir in cooked noodles and apple slices
Pour into greased 9x13 glass baking dish
Sprinkle cinnamon over top
For topping, mix graham crumbs with reserved butter and sprinkle over top
Bake 45-55 minutes, covering with foil if top begins to dry out
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving
This is by no means healthy, but it is very happy to the tummy! Having no idea what kugel should look or taste like, I think it turned out great. It's more of a dessert flavor, although I have been eating leftovers for breakfast all week. Perhaps you will, too...
Happy, healthy eating!
