Royal cheesecake with apples, vanilla and cottage cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   We start preparing the pie with the filling. Take apples and cut them into small cubes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add eggs to cottage cheese and stir well. Then add sugar (1 cup) and vanillin - mix everything until smooth. Don’t be confused by the fact that the filling turns out to be liquid at first glance - this way the pie will be juicier.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then we get to work on the dough. Take the butter and put it in the freezer in advance, and then grate it on a coarse grater. Hardened oil is much easier to work with! Add the butter to the flour and start mixing everything together with your hands. Our task is to make sure that the oil does not stick together. Then add sugar (1 cup), salt and baking powder. Mix everything with your hands again. The structure of the dough should be like sand - soft and crumbly.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grease the pan in which we will bake the pie well with butter, preheat the oven to 170C. We begin to assemble our cheesecake. Pour a little more than half of the dough onto the bottom of the mold and compact it.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then add half the apples.

6. STEP 6

   

   And put cottage cheese on the apples.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add a layer of apples again.

8. STEP 8

   

   And then pour the remaining dough on top. We level it and also lightly press it with our hands. We put the cheesecake in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Make sure that the top does not burn; to do this, you can cover the cheesecake with foil.

9. STEP 9

   

   When the cheesecake is cooked, give it time to cool. Cut it into pieces and serve with tea or coffee. Tender, crumbly, yet juicy inside, thanks to apples and cottage cheese, the whole family will love the cheesecake!
