Baked apples with cottage cheese, cinnamon under a crispy crust

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Everything is very simple and fast. I mix cottage cheese with sugar and cinnamon, and yolk. I mix everything well. If there are grains, you can break them through with a blender. I got such a beautiful, homogeneous mass. I put it aside. In the meantime, I’ll take care of the apples.

2. STEP 2

   

   I cut off the top of apples

3. STEP 3

   

   And with the help of a spoon I remove the core.

4. STEP 4

   

   These are the blanks I got.

5. STEP 5

   

   I fill the apples with cottage cheese. For convenience, I poured the curd mass into a pastry bag.

6. STEP 6

   

   And I send it to a preheated oven at 160-165 degrees for 15 minutes. But it’s better to focus on your oven and the light golden crust.

7. STEP 7

   

   In the meantime, I’ll prepare the meringue (meringue) for the apples in the oven. I ALWAYS beat the egg whites for meringue in a glass or metal bowl. Because plastic has the ability to absorb fat, and this is the first enemy of meringue. In a dry and clean bowl, beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until soft foam.

8. STEP 8

   

   And then I gradually introduce sugar. This is the kind of glossy, stable meringue you should get.

9. STEP 9

   

   For convenience, I transfer it into a pastry bag. And after the apples are slightly baked, I plant the meringue.

10. STEP 10

    

    And again I put it in the oven, but already preheated to 120 degrees, and I will focus on a dry and crispy crust.

11. STEP 11

    

    It took me 30 minutes to do this.

12. STEP 12

    

    Let it cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar or cocoa if desired.

13. STEP 13

    

    And you can invite everyone to the table. The apples turn out very fragrant, juicy, moderately sweet. I really hope that you will like it! Join us!! Bon appetit!!!
