Ingredients:

- 3 eggs
- Broad noodles
- 2 tablespoons fresh butter
- Cinnamon, to taste
- Sugar, to taste
- Fresh butter, for topping
- Optional: milchig pie crust for the base

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the broad noodles according to the package instructions. Cook them until they are al dente or slightly tender. Drain the noodles and set them aside.

3. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Then, add the cooked and drained noodles to the bowl. Mix them together, ensuring that the noodles are well coated with the beaten eggs.

4. In a separate bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar according to your taste preferences. Sprinkle this mixture over the noodles and toss gently to evenly distribute the flavors.

5. In a buttered baking pan, start layering the dish. Begin with a layer of noodles, followed by a layer of sliced apples. Repeat this process until the pan is filled, ensuring that the top layer consists of noodles.

6. Dot the top layer of noodles with small bits of fresh butter. This will help to create a golden and crispy topping.

7. Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the top is golden brown.

8. Once the dish is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Optional: If desired, you can make a milchig pie crust and use it as an under-crust for the dish. When the apples are tender and the crust is fully cooked, carefully turn the dish out onto a large platter with the crust side facing up.
