FROSTED NOODLE PUDDING (KUGEL)

1 pkg. (8 oz) broad noodles, cooked and drained
1/4 tsp salt
4 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup butter
1 pkg (3 oz) cream cheese
***1 can pie filling, cherry or apple

Mix all ingredients except pie filling into a 2 quart baking dish.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.  Top with pie filling and bake 15-20 minutes.

This is the original recipe from a sisterhood cookbook.  I don't add the butter and I have never topped it with the pie filling.
