Kugels hold a special place in our family's Jewish traditions, passed down through generations. This recipe, inspired by my great aunt Inge and a hint of my Bubbe's touch, creates a blend of sweet noodles in a creamy custard baked together for a cozy dish. For the uninitiated, think of kugels as a comforting casserole with a sweet twist. This version, featuring applesauce and raisins, brings comfort in every bite. What's awesome is that making it gluten free was a breeze - just swap traditional noodles with thin, gluten free rice noodles, and you've got a gluten free version that tastes equally delicious. I hope this family favorite brings warmth to your table, just like it does for us!

Cook the noodles until tender, then drain and rinse.
Blend together the eggs, salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, melted butter, and sugar.
In a mixing bowl, combine the applesauce with the blended mix along with the raisins.
Grease your baking dish and add the cooked, drained, and rinsed noodles.
Pour the mixture over the noodles.
Bake at 325°F for the first 45 minutes, then increase the temperature to 375°F for another 15-20 minutes until fully baked with a lightly golden, crispy top.

Notes

After cooking the rice noodles, give them a rinse with cold water to keep them from clumping together. Lightly grease your baking dish to make sure nothing sticks, then spread the noodles out evenly, keeping them nice and separated. Pour the custard mixture over the top, making sure it’s evenly distributed, and scatter the raisins throughout for a little burst of sweetness. Aim for a slightly golden, crispy top—it adds a lovely texture! For dairy-free, swap the butter for your favorite dairy-free alternative—it works just as well and keeps the dish just as delicious.
