Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the egg noodles. Cook them until they’re tender but still have a little bite—about 5 minutes—then drain and set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Next, stir in the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until everything is well combined. Gently fold the noodles and chopped apples into the cheese mixture, then spread it all evenly into your prepared pan. Pop it in the oven and bake until the kugel is golden on top and set in the middle, which should take around 45 to 50 minutes. Let it cool slightly before serving for the best flavor.
