60 minLokshen kugel is the ultimate Jewish comfort food, a sweet noodle pudding that walks the line between side dish and dessert.
Egg noodles get tossed with beaten eggs, melted margarine, and chunks of fresh apple, then baked until the edges turn crispy and the center stays soft and custardy.
Cinnamon and vanilla add warmth, while plump raisins deliver little pockets of sweetness.
Pro Tips
- For extra richness, add 2 more eggs to make it even softer and more custardy
- Rinse raisins in hot water before adding so they stay plump and don’t dry out during baking
- Swap apples and raisins for crushed pineapple plus extra sugar and cinnamon for a tropical twist
Ingredients

Makes 12 servings. Note: for extra softness, add another 2 eggs.
