Luchen Kugel

Here's my mother's father's mother's recipe for luchen kugel -- basically, Jewish noodle pudding.

1 lb egg noodles (medium width), cooked
6 - 8 eggs (6 extra-large, 8 large)
3/4 white sugar (more if you like it sweet)
1 - 2 apples, diced
a handful of raisins (or more)
2 tsps cinnamon

Mix everything together except the cinnamon. We do 1 - 1-1/2 tsps cinnamon mixed in, and the rest sprinkled on the top.

Bake in a well-greased 9x13 pan (we use a Pyrex) at 325F for 40 minutes, but check it -- you might need an hour. When it's done, the noodles on top will be crisp and the whole thing will be set.


(It looks like I'm going to have to alter my plans for pumpkin cinnamon caramel sticky buns, since I can't seem to get canned pumpkin anywhere! Not far enough in the fall season, I guess. How disappointing. What should I make instead? Regular caramel sticky buns? We'll see...)
