Doc’s Noodle Pudding (Kugel) – For Holiday Time or Anytime

Ingredients:

• 2 packs of unflavored Miracle Noodles (I used fettucine shape.)
• 2 small, sweet apples (I used Galas.)
• 2 ripe pears (I used Bartletts.)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 4 packets of Splenda^TM
• Cinnamon – a few shakes
• Kosher salt – pinch
• Sprig of fresh mint, optional

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Prepare Miracle Noodles by rinsing and parboiling 1-2 minutes (to remove earthy smell).
• Using a kitchen scissor or knife, cut noodles into bite-size pieces.
• Chop apples and pears into small pieces.
• Beat eggs in mixing bowl.
• Combine all ingredients and mix together.
• Transfer to casserole baking dish that has been sprayed with PAM or lightly greased.
• Give an additional shake or two of cinnamon on top for color, optional.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown on top.
• Garnish with fresh mint, optional.

Enjoy as a delicious side or as a dessert! And it’s even good cold!
