Not Your Mama's Noodle Kugel

(Adapted after years of consumption from too many sources to cite!)

Ingredients:
1 8 oz. package of egg noodles
1 c. milk
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese
1 pint sour cream
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup each: dried apricots, cherries, cranberries (or any other dried goodies you have lying around!)
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 c. melted butter

For topping:
1 cup crushed corn flakes
4 tbsp. cinnamon sugar
2 tbsp. melted butter

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.

Boil noodles until al dente. While noodles cook mash up the cream cheese in the milk, then add all other ingredients. (Except for the topping)

When the noodles are done, drain and add to the bowl with all of the ingredients. Mix gently but thoroughly and put into a 13x9 sprayed glass square pan. Top with crushed corn flakes, then butter, then cinnamon sugar mixture.

Bake for 30 minutes or until top turns light brown and the eggs poof up.

If you refrigerate it in the pan over night it will set and you can easily cut and store the pieces. It is excellent served hot, cold, or eaten straight from the pan! Enjoy :)
