The fruits for this dessert will require quite large, so that you can put the filling, and tight, so that there are no caskets during cooking. As a rule, it is suitable for baking, as it is impossible, it is winter varieties. Curd filling also needs attention. Cottage cheese, if it is not fatty or not mixed with oil, during heating can be shattered, becoming dry, losing moisture and tenderness, which will reduce dietary qualities and flavoring. Avoid failure will help only cottage cheese with a large percentage of fatty, or a generous amount of oil. And for the diversity of dessert, it is possible to add to filling and other goodies: raisins, nuts, kuragu, prunes, etc. Ingredients.

Weekend! Time to pay a little more attention to breakfast. Here people usually exercise first and then have breakfast, so it can almost be called brunch. And this cottage cheese egg pancake recipe is ideal for that. It also doesn’t take much time to make it. If you want to vary with this recipe, you can do that with the cottage cheese. In this case, I opted for vanilla curd that goes perfectly with the taste of cinnamon and the apple. Because this is a healthier version, I didn’t use any sugar, but you could sprinkle it on top at the end. Well enough ranted to get started with these apple cinnamon cottage cheese pancakes.

Serve with some cinnamon on top.

Peel the apple and core the apple with an apple corer. Cut the apple into thin slices and put them in a bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and some cinnamon powder. (You can also sprinkle some sugar on top).
Take a bowl and add the quark, the egg and the flour and beat with a whisk until you get a smooth batter.
Sprinkle some cinnamon on the apple pancakes.

You can also vary with the boom, for example choose buckwheat flour. If you’re in a crazy mood, you can add natural food coloring to it. Like pink pitaya powder, or spirulina with it, you give the pancakes some color. These apple cinnamon cottage cheese pancakes were so gone, do you want more? Then double the recipe to two apples. Also nice to cram, because you can also eat them cold, then take them to work for a healthy lunch.

Main Ingredients

Apples: 2 apples, peeled and cored. Sliced into 1/4″ slices. See below for the best apples to use for this recipe.
Seasoning: you will need 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and two teaspoons of brown sugar for the apples. You will also need one pouch of vanilla sugar for the cottage cheese filling.
Dried cranberries: 1/2 cup of dried cranberries will add sweetness and a little bit of a sour taste. You may like to use raisins instead, but because they are sweeter you can use 1/3 of a cup. If you like the sweetness, use 1/2 cup of raisins too.
Sliced almonds: 100 gm. of blanched sliced almonds will add a little bit of crunch. I purchase a small package of already sliced almonds.

Best apples to use in puff pastry

The very best apples to use in this recipe are a combination of firm and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, Golden Delicious, and any other tart apple. Firm and sour apple varieties hold well during the cooking process and don’t turn watery or mushy in your pie.

Avoid McIntosh and Red Delicious apples; they fall apart when baked.

I use Granny Smith apples and the pie turns out amazing every time! You can see whole apple slices when you cut into the pie and they taste phenomenal!

How to prepare the Cottage Cheese and Apple Pie

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
Prepare the apples: peel, core and slice the apples into 1/4″ slices. Place them into a small mixing bowl and stir in the cinnamon and brown sugar until well combined. Set aside.
Prepare the cottage cheese mixture: place the cottage cheese, vanilla yogurt, vanilla sugar, dried cranberries, and sliced almonds in a large mixing bowl and mix well to combine.
Spread the cottage cheese mixture over one of the puff pastry sheets, making sure to leave some room on all edges of the puff pastry. Arrange the cinnamon and brown sugar-seasoned apple slices on top of the cottage cheese mixture.
Beat the egg in a small bowl, and using a silicone or pastry brush, apply the egg wash around the edges.
Place the second puff pastry sheet over the apples and gently lift/fold the edges of the bottom pastry sheet over the top one to seal the two pastry sheets together.
Cut 5 or 6 evenly spaced slits on the right and left sides of the pastry. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Brush the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle the top with poppy seeds or sesame seeds.

Tips For Making Grandma’s Baked Apple With Farmer Cheese Recipe

See also my quick Polish apple dessert recipe.

Hollow The Apples Out Very Carefully

Make sure the apple won’t rupture when hollowing out. It needs to be perfect, otherwise, the apple will fall apart in the oven. It was my mistake when I was making my grandma’s baked apple with farmer cheese for the first time. I thought that the tiny crack won’t make a difference. I was wrong! My apple fell apart and I needed to make it one more time.

Decorate The Apple With Whipped Cream.

Do it when the apple is cold, otherwise, the whipped cream will melt.

Serve It Warm Or Cold.

This Polish dessert tastes great both cold and hot.
