1-12 ounce package wide egg noodles
1/2 stick melted margarine
4 apples such as Cortland or, for a tart kugel, Granny Smith
3/4 cup Golden raisins
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
1-1/2 tsp. cinnamon
pinch salt
5 extra large eggs
OPTIONAL: 1 can pineapple chunks, drained

Grease a 9"x13" glass baking dish and set aside.

Cook the noodles according to the directions on the box. Cook the noodles only to the al dente stage.

Drain them, return them to the cooking pot and add the melted margarine. Mix well and set aside to cool.

Peel the apples, cut them in quarters, remove the core and seeds and slice the apples into the noodles. Add the raisins, cinnamon, sugar, honey and pineapple. Mix well.

Gently beat the eggs together and mix into the noodle mixture.

Pour into the greased pan. Cut a piece of aluminum foil and spray one side with non-stick cooking spray. Cover the kugel tightly and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

Let stand for about 15 minutes before serving.
