Welcome back to Apple Week! I have yet another recipe for you and as well, the giveaway is still going on through next week. You can enter by finding the link on the welcome page which also has my recipe for apple nut bread, so don’t get confused and think you got lost.
This apple noodle kugel was my first time making a sweet kugel. I think I may have held off in the past not making one, not knowing how I would like a sweet noodle dish. But having made one now and tasting it, I wish I would have tried long ago. The flavor is a little bit like apple pie but not overly sweet, and in some ways reminds me of bread pudding. It is not nearly as sweet as something like sweet potato casserole, which is a Thanksgiving staple.
I understand this kind of thing is served at Jewish seders for Rosh Hashanah, although that isn’t something we celebrate here. But I still enjoy the food.

This sounds really delicious!
I have yet to try kugel. It reminds me of bread pudding but with noodles.
You’d like it. It wasn’t too sweet to be served with dinner, but was also good enough to be a different kind of breakfast. I should have made the sweet kind long ago.
I have never tried a kugel but you definitely have me tempted!
