Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Liberally butter a deep 8-inch square baking dish.
- Fill a large pot with generously salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes.
- Drain egg noodles and rinse in cold water to stop the cooking. Drain again and mop up any excess moisture with paper towels.
- Beat sour cream, cream cheese, eggs, salt, and vanilla with an electric mixer until well combined. Mix in apricot preserves and cinnamon.
- Crush cereal in a food processor or by hand until it's broken up enough that it's no longer identifiable as cereal. Mix in softened butter until well distributed.
- Place noodles in the prepared baking dish. Pour sour cream mixture over top and stir to combine. Mix in cranberries. Sprinkle crushed cereal mixture evenly over top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and crusty, 1 to 1 1/2 hours, checking every so often starting at 45 minutes. If the top looks like it's headed towards burning, stick some foil on the top. At the end, if the top's not crusty enough, put it under the broiler until the butter bubbles a bit and the the color gets nice and rich looking, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes before serving.

History of Apricot Noodle Kugel
Noodle kugel has a long history in Jewish cuisine, dating back to the early days of Eastern European Jewish communities. The word "kugel" comes from the Yiddish word for "ball" or "sphere," and originally referred to a type of baked pudding made with matzo meal or bread crumbs. Over time, the recipe evolved to include egg noodles, which were easier to find and cook than matzo meal. The addition of dried fruit, such as apricots, raisins, or prunes, is a relatively recent development in the history of noodle kugel. This sweet element adds depth and complexity to the dish, and also makes it appropriate for serving as a dessert or side dish.Ingredients in Apricot Noodle Kugel
The exact ingredients in apricot noodle kugel vary depending on the recipe, but most versions include the following:- Egg noodles - these can be wide or narrow, but should be cooked until al dente before being added to the casserole.
- Dried apricots - these add a sweet and tangy flavor to the kugel, as well as a pleasing texture.
- Raisins or other dried fruit - these can be added in addition to or instead of the apricots, depending on personal preference and availability.
- Eggs - these are the key binding agent in the kugel, helping to hold all the other ingredients together.
- Milk - this provides a creamy and rich base for the kugel, balancing out the sweetness of the fruit.
- Sour cream - this helps to thicken the mixture and adds a tangy flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.
- Brown sugar and/or honey - these provide additional sweetness to the kugel, and can be adjusted to taste.
- Vanilla extract - this adds a subtle but important flavor to the kugel, enhancing the overall experience.
- Cinnamon - this spice is often used in the recipe, adding warmth and depth to the dish.
- Butter - this is used to grease the casserole dish and to melt on top of the kugel to create a crispy, golden-brown topping.
How to Make Apricot Noodle Kugel
While there are many variations of the recipe, the basic steps for making apricot noodle kugel are as follows:- Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the beaten eggs, milk, sour cream, brown sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
- Add the cooked noodles to the egg mixture, along with the chopped apricots and any other dried fruit you are using. Mix together until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a baking dish with butter.
- Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to smooth the top and ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
- Cut a few tablespoons of butter into small pieces and scatter over the top of the kugel.
- Bake the kugel for 45-60 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Ways to Customize Apricot Noodle Kugel
While the basic recipe for apricot noodle kugel is delicious on its own, there are many ways to customize the dish to suit your personal tastes. Some ideas include:- Switch out the apricots for other fruits, such as peaches, pears, or apples.
- Add chopped nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, for extra texture and crunch.
- Use different spices, such as nutmeg or allspice, to vary the flavor profile.
- Increase or decrease the amount of sweetness to suit your taste preferences.
- Vary the type of milk or sour cream used to adjust the richness of the dish.
- Top the kugel with a streusel topping made from brown sugar, flour, and butter.
- Experiment with different types of noodles, such as fettuccine or egg tagliatelle.
