Kugel is a traditional Jewish dish, a casserole made from starch (often noodles) and an eggy custard that can be either sweet or savory. This rich, chock-full-of-fruit noodle kugel is lightly sweetened with honey, with a cinnamon-sugar topping that bakes up fragrant and crisp. Kugel is often served as a side dish, but you can certainly enjoy it as a snack, dessert, or even breakfast. Use whatever type of apples you like best; we used sweet Ambrosia apples, but you could try tart Granny Smith or sweet-tart Honeycrisp.

Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook noodles according to package directions, adding raisins during last 1 minute of cooking time (to plump them). Drain.
2
Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add apples and water; cover and cook until apples are tender, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover, stir in 1 tsp cinnamon, and cook until any liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.
3
In a large bowl, whisk eggs until lightly beaten. Whisk in yogurt, honey, vanilla, and salt. Add noodles and apples and toss to combine. Spoon mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish coated with nonstick spray. Combine sugar and remaining ½ tsp cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over noodle mixture. Bake at 350°F until set, 45 minutes. Serve warm.
