Jewish Noodle Pudding
Jewish grandmas made one version of this traditional dessert without dairy products so it could be enjoyed with a meat meal. Other recipes, like this one, included sour cream, milk, or cheese and were eaten with a dairy meal.
Makes 4 servings.
Preparation time: 10 minutes.
Cooking time: 50 minutes.

4 large egg whites
1 large egg

Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, stir together the egg whites, egg, sour cream, milk, the 1/4 cup sugar, flour, vanilla, the 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and allspice. Stir in the noodles, apple, and fruit bits.

Step 2:
Spoon the noodle mixture into a lightly greased 1 1/2-quart casserole. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons sugar and the 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon.
