Overnight Matzo Bake

This version of breakfast noodle kugel is suitable for Passover! We frequently eat kugel with cinnamon and raisins. I decided to use dried apricots, dried apples, and raisins. Kugels typically contain a lot of sour cream, cottage cheese, and cream cheese and are very dense. To keep things a little lighter, I only used a small amount of sour cream.
