Noodle Kugel

"This is the kugel my mother made every Friday night when I was growing up, adapted from my great-grandmother's recipe. It's not the dairy overload of most kugels and, made with margarine, can be served with a kosher meat meal. Note that it's a main course side dish, even though it looks very sweet. You can use other fruit/spice combos like pear, plums or peaches with ginger."

  1. Very good. The flavor of this was excellent - the buttery flavored noodles and the nice chunks of hot apple, along with the apple pie spice made this taste like an apple pie.MMMMM. I used approx 3 1/3 cups of dry noodles.
     
  2. I made this kugel as a side dish for pork chops. Since I was also serving baked apples, I left out the raisins and apple. It was delicious! A perfect accompaniment.
     
  3. Our whole family thought it tasted good, but it didn't hold together like I expected. Next time I think I'll double it, but add an extra egg (3 total).
     
  4. very like the kugel I make-sometimes I add dates & apricots and it is always successful. When my daughters were little they picked out the fruit...but not today!
     
  5. This is delicious, but it is still pretty sweet for dinner. Usually I try to match it with something light or sour-ish for some contrast, or I skip dessert (maybe). I'm not a raisin person so I always leave them out, still very tasty.
