Creamy cottage cheese, tender grated apple, and a scattering of sliced almonds make this pie a cozy, lightly sweet bake. It rises golden and set, with a soft, custardy center that is lovely warm or at room temperature.
Ingredients
- 300 g (1 1/4 cups) cottage cheese
- 60-70 g (1/3 cup) sugar
- 80 g (1/3 cup) butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 200 g (1 2/3 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 200 g (2 medium) apples
- Pinch of salt
- Sliced almonds for topping
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and butter until smooth.
- Peel and grate the apples; fold into the cheese mixture.
- Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Spread into a baking pan.
- Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 45-50 minutes until golden and set.
Tips
- Grate the apples just before mixing so they stay fresh and do not release too much juice.
- Let the pie cool before slicing so the soft, custardy center sets cleanly.
