Apple Kugel

I absolutely love to create something wonderful from something most people would probably throw away. If you cook too many noodles for dinner, what can you do with the leftover noodles? Why, make a delicious Kugel for breakfast the next morning! For this Kugel, I also incorporated some wrinkly, bruised apples that my girls would probably refuse to eat, but were still perfectly yummy. It baked up into a delicious custardy comfort food - similar to a bread pudding - that Stella and I devoured!

Apple Kugel

2 cups (or so) of leftover noodles (We used whole wheat egg noodles today, but other noodles will work well too.)

2 or 3 small apples, diced

4 eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

Additional sugar and cinnamon to sprinkle on top

(Can also add some walnuts or pecans)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place the cooked, cold noodles into a baking dish with the diced apples and stir around to distribute evenly. Mix together the rest of the ingredients, blend until frothy and well mixed. Pour over the noodles and apples. Cover and bake for an hour or until center is set. Serve warm by the spoonful!
