For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter. Add a handful of raisins or dried cranberries for a touch of sweetness and chewiness. A sprinkle of crushed cornflakes on top before baking adds a delightful crunch. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. You can also substitute honey or maple syrup for a more complex sweetness. Kugel is best served warm or at room temperature. It can also be refrigerated and reheated gently. Try using different types of noodles, such as rotini or penne, for a fun twist. If you don't have applesauce, you can use mashed bananas or pumpkin puree.
