Plum Noodle Kugel

I've wanted to make this kugal for a while, it is very good and easy to make!

6 oz. farfalle (bow tie) or med. egg noodles (about 2 1/2 c. uncooked)
3 eggs
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 3/4 (1 1/2 lbs) fresh plums, quartered and pitted
1 c. applesauce
1 c. soft breadcrumbs
1/2 c. chopped nuts
2 T. melted pareve margarine or butter

Cook noodles until barely tender. Drain and rinse in cold water. Beat eggs, add sugar and cinnamon and mix well. Toss noodles in egg mixture, and stir in plums and applesauce. Pour into greased 2-quart casserole. Combine breadcrumbs, nuts and butter or margarine, and sprinkle nut mixture over top. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Note in cookbook: For desert, serve warm with heavy or whipped cream if making a dairy meal. Freezes well.

My own note: I just used a typical bag of egg noodles, and it came out fine.
