In a large bowl, microwave cream cheese and butter 1 minute, until butter has fully melted. Stir to combine.

Whisk sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt into the cream cheese mixture before whisking in eggs 1 at a time.

Drain cooked egg noodles and fold into the wet ingredients in the mixing bowl. Dice the dried apricots. Peel, core, and dice apple and, along with the apricots, fold into the noodle mixture.

Transfer the noodle mixture to the greased baking dish and pat down until most noodles are submerged. Bake until bubbling and set, about 40-5- minutes, until lightly browned.
