An old-time favorite with a new twist. This kugel, crowned with alternate stripes of crumbs and a variety of fruit pie filling, makes a striking presentation. I prepared one for the photo shoot and had to make another one because everyone who was in the house or happened to pop into the house took “just a sliver” and that was the end of it all too quickly. Freezes beautifully and cuts like a charm. Thanks, R.K.

Noodle Kugel with Fruit and Crumb Topping

Ingredients (14)
Main ingredients
Topping
Crumbs
Start Cooking
Prepare the Kugel
-
Cook noodles according to package directions and drain.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
-
Add the remaining kugel ingredients and mix well. Pour into a greased nine- by 13-inch oven-to-tableware dish.
-
Combine all crumb ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
-
Place a row of crumbs on top of kugel, gently pressing down. Then spread a row of cherry pie filling right near it.
-
Continue with a row of crumbs and then a row of blueberry pie filling until the entire top is covered.
-
Bake for 45 minutes or until done. If crumbs appear too brown before the kugel is ready, loosely cover with a piece of Gefen Parchment Paper and continue baking.
Note:
You will have leftover crumbs, which you can freeze for later use.
Tip:
I did a thicker row of crumbs (yes, I used a ruler so it would be even!) and a thinner one of the fruit pie filling, but you can do as you please. You can also do stripes in the width.
