Noodle Kugel

(My grandma=s recipe from Austria, as best as I can remember it)

Ingredients:

1 16-oz package or extra-long or extra-wide egg noodles

1 stick (1/2 cup) margarine

1 - 1-1/3 cups raisins, soaked in warm water

4 apples, peeled and chopped (macintosh are best)

2 tsp. cinnamon

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

Directions:

Cook noodles with salt and oil, drain, and coat with margarine. Add raisins (drained) and apples. Combine cinnamon with egg yolks and add mixture to noodles. Beat egg whites until frothy, add 1 cup sugar, and add mixture to noodles. Grease large casserole dish and add noodles. Cover and bake at 350 degrees until brown on edges, about 40 minutes to an hour.
