Ingredients

• 8 oz Egg Noodles
• 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
• 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 1 cup Dried Apricots (chopped)
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Heavy Cream
• 3 pieces Large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp Powdered Sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss them with 1 tablespoon of butter. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples and sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped dried apricots.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth.

Step 5

Add the cooked noodles and the apple-apricot mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Gently fold everything together to evenly combine.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top for a crunchy topping.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Let the pudding cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar for garnish, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature as a dessert or a sweet side dish.
