Instructions
- For the kugel, preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly oil a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Heat the orange juice and honey in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring till the honey is melted. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the raisins. Let sit for 30 minutes.
- Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of boiling water. Drain, return to the pot and toss with a bit of oil to keep from sticking. Set aside. While the water is boiling/noodles are cooking, place the apples and 2 Tbsp of the granulated sugar on your prepared baking sheet and toss to coat.
- Bake for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Beat the cream cheese and butter till well blended. Beat in the remaining 4 Tbsp granulated sugar. Add the sour cream and beat again. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Fold in the apples, raisins (along with the liquid) and cinnamon.
- Pour the mixture over the noodles and toss to coat completely. Pour into your prepared baking pan.
- For the topping, place the oats, flour, brown sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse till coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle evenly over the noodle mixture.
- Bake the kugel for 45–55 minutes, or till golden brown and crispy on top.
