Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the noodles have cooked through, but are still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well. Place cooked noodles into a mixing bowl.
- With an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a bowl until they form stiff peaks; set egg whites aside. Whisk the egg yolks together in a bowl until smooth, and mix in the sugar until well combined. Pour egg yolk mixture over the noodles, and mix in the cinnamon, apples, raisins, and almonds. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites, trying to keep as much volume as possible. Pour the kugel into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the kugel is browned and the center is set, about 30 minutes.

GRANDMA CAROLYN'S PINEAPPLE AND COCONUT KUGEL
My MIL found this recipe in her Mother's handwriting in a recipe file. It isn't very sweet and I will add 1/2 cup sugar next time I make it. I made this for 8 people tonight and while everyone liked it, they all wished it was a bit sweeter. I added some sour cream and some ricotta cheese as well.

GRANDMA'S NOODLE KUGEL
This was my grandma's noodle kugel and is really easy to make. Leftovers are great cold for lunch the next day! It's a lot lighter than many of the other kugels I saw here, but I'm still looking for ways to make it healthier without changing the taste too much. I've already switched the sour cream & cottage cheese to 'light', and the milk to skim. I'd love suggestions for ways to lighten it even more. UPDATE: In an effort to recreate a sweet topping I tasted on another relative's kugel, I came up with a new optional oatmeal topping. I like it a lot better than the cornflakes or plain.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Use the butter to grease a 9 x 11 glass baking dish.
- Add the rest of the butter to the hot noodles, and stir until melted.
- Add sour cream and cottage cheese to the noodles.
- Pour the noodles into the baking dish.
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Add milk to the eggs and beat. Add sugar and stir. Pour over the noodles.
- If using oatmeal topping, melt butter in frying pan, then add oatmeal and brown sugar. Still until brown sugar dissolves and oatmeal is coated.
- Sprinkle either the crushed cornflakes (eliminate the butter & brown sugar) or oatmeal topping over the noodles.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes. Do not make in advance of when you plan to bake. The noodles will absorb the liquids and it will come out dry. It is done when some of the noodles on the top are just barely starting to lightly brown.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. Canned pineapple can also be used, but it will not have the same fresh flavor.
- Be sure to drain the pineapple well before adding it to the batter. This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough ugel.
- Bake the ugel until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the ugel is cooked through.
- Let the ugel cool completely before glazing it. This will help to prevent the glaze from seeping into the ugel.
Conclusion:
Pineapple and coconut ugel is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a moist and flavorful cake that is topped with a sweet and tangy glaze. This ugel is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
