Applesauce noodle kugel is a classic Jewish dish that is often served during the holidays, especially Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is a sweet and savory casserole made with egg noodles, applesauce, cinnamon, sugar, and raisins. The noodles are cooked and then mixed with the applesauce and spices, and then baked until golden brown. Kugel can be served as a main course or a side dish, and it is a popular choice for potlucks and gatherings. There are many different variations of applesauce noodle kugel, so you can find one that suits your taste. Classic kugel recipes typically call for using sour cream, but newer recipes now provide a great vegan option for those who avoid dairy products.

NOODLE AND APPLE KUGEL
This comforting kugel tastes much richer than it is, and it is certainly lighter than a traditional kugel (though it is not a low-calorie dessert). I've made this with Golden Delicious apples and with tarter varieties like Pink Lady; I liked it both ways.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Begin heating a large pot of water.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the apples. Cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, until they begin to color and are slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- When the water comes to a boil, add salt to taste and the noodles. Cook al dente, a little firmer than you would want them if you were eating them right away. Drain through a colander and add to the pan with the apples (if using long flat noodles, cut them first with a scissors into shorter lengths). Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and toss together until the butter melts. Stir in the optional raisins. Set aside.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the sugar and beat together until the mixture is thick. Beat in the yogurt, vanilla, rum, nutmeg and about 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste. Add the noodles and apples and fold everything together. Scrape into the prepared baking dish. Push the pasta down into the egg and yogurt mixture (it will not be completely submerged, but try to cover as much as you can). Place in the oven and bake 40 to 45 minutes, until the kugel is set and the sides are browned. There will always be some noodles on top that brown and become quite hard. You can remove these from the baked dish if you wish. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

CREAMY APPLE NOODLE KUGEL
Since it uses applesauce as well as fresh apples it is very moist, easy and quick preparation, and great apple taste. When I am in a really big hurry, I just double the applesauce and don't bother with the fresh apples.

BUNDT APPLESAUCE NOODLE KUGEL
A beautiful presentation for a luncheon, it not only looks great, but tastes out of this world! (Tip: make sure that the Bundt pan is coated well with cooking spray) Prep time does not include cooking the noodles. I have even made this in a 13x9 baking pan, just coat the bottom of the pan with melted butter, and then sprinkle brown sugar on top, mix all the remaining ingredients and pour over brown sugar/butter mixture--no need to invert the pan after baking, just cut into squares and serve.
