Apple Raisin Lokshen Kugel

This is one of our favorite dishes.  It is creamy and sweet and delicious.  I had some strawberries, in the fridge and I thought about putting them into the kugel.  I was afraid, they would not do well baked like this.  I wondered what the juice from the strawberries would do it.  So, I passed on the strawberries and debated blueberries or bananas.  I ended, using apples.

I have been making many dishes with the summer fruits. Using them in salads or desserts, they make delicious additions. Apples are on vacation (until they show up on the trees again).  OK, I took away a little of their well deserved rest but I was yearning for apples.

I adapted this one from About.com Kosher Cooking

Lokshen Kugel

Ingredients:

 1 2/3 cups low fat sour cream 
1 cup Ricotta 
1/4 cup melted butter
3 eggs, lightly beaten
 1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
 8 ounces medium noodles, cooked
 1/2 cup raisins
1 apple, chopped in 1/4 inch pieces
1/4 cup cinnamon and 1 teaspoon sugar to sprinkle on top
Canola spray cooking oil to spray over cinnamon and sugar topping

 Method:

 In a large mixing bowl, combine Ricotta cheese, sour cream, milk and butter.
 Beat in the eggs, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Then add the cooked  noodles, apples and raisins.
Pour into rectangular baking dish which has been sprayed with Canola oil.
Mix together cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on top.   
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until lightly  browned. May be frozen and reheated.

The apples are still somewhat firm and you get the wonderful crunch in the midst of the soft, creamy cheesy part of the kugel.

  4. My Mom is always hinting about how much she loves kugel. In other words she wants me to make her one! You're always the first person I think of when she mentions it - since I never made one I need your expertise. This apple one looks absolutely delicious Chaya! I will try to keep it in mind for apple season.
