A simple yet delightful dessert featuring apples baked until tender and filled with a sweet, creamy mixture of cottage cheese, sugar, and often raisins and cinnamon.
🧂 Zutaten
- 4 medium Apples(firm varieties like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji)

👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C). Wash the apples. Cut off the top 'lid' of each apple and carefully scoop out the core and seeds with a spoon, creating a cavity. Be careful not to pierce through the bottom or sides of the apple.

In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and optional raisins and cinnamon. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Fill the cavities of the apples generously with the cottage cheese mixture. Place the 'lids' back on top of the apples.
