Holiday Fruit Kugel
1/2 cup seedless raisins
1/2 cup Concord grape wine or apple juice
1 (12-ounce) package wide egg noodles
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine
2 apples, peeled, cored and diced
4 eggs, well beaten
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
Cinnamon and sugar to taste

Soak raisins in wine between 4 hours and overnight. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook noodles in boiling water 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender; drain. Combine noodles, margarine, apples and drained raisins (reserve liquid in case mixture seems a little dry, if so, add some of the liquid) in large bowl. Add eggs; mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spoon mixture into well-oiled 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Bake 35 to 45 minutes, or until top is brown and crisp. Serve hot or cold.

Makes 10 servings.
