Stuffed apples in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients according to the list. It is better to use sweet varieties of apples with soft flesh, so that they bake faster and become tender after baking. As a rule, cottage cheese with various sweet additives is used as a filling: berries, dried fruits, nuts. These are perfectly compatible and healthy products. Cottage cheese can be used with any percentage of fat content, depending on the desired calorie content of the dish.

2. STEP 2

   

   For children, it is better to use natural village cottage cheese; for ladies who are on a diet and watching their figure, a low-fat product is suitable. Place the cottage cheese in a bowl, add sugar or honey if you are not allergic to this product. If the cottage cheese is grainy, it should be rubbed through a sieve or punched with a blender; if the product is dry, you can add a spoonful of cream or sour cream.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat in the chicken egg, mix the mixture again until it becomes homogeneous in consistency. Add sweet additives to the curd mass. I used frozen white, red and black currants. If desired, you can use raisins, dried apricots and prunes or other dried fruits or fruits.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add a pinch of vanilla or cinnamon to taste. Mix the ingredients.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the apples, cut off a small cap on top, use a sharp knife or spoon to remove the core of the apple with a small amount of pulp from the walls, but do not reach the bottom, to make a baking pot. To prevent apples from darkening, they should be prepared for cooking last, or placed in a container with a solution of lemon juice or citric acid.

6. STEP 6

   

   Stuff the apples with the prepared filling and cover the top with a lid made from an apple cap.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place them in a baking dish, pour a little water on the bottom, and place them in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20 minutes. The baking time depends on the operating mode of the oven, the degree of hardness of the apple and the desired softness of the finished dish. But in any case, you should not keep stuffed apples in the oven for a long time, so that the beneficial substances contained in the components of the dish are not destroyed.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove the apples from the oven and serve with sour cream, caramel or chocolate sauce, garnished with honey or powdered sugar. Bon appetit!

I baked apples in the microwave several times, but naturally there is no need to talk about useful preserved properties here; baking stuffed apples in the oven is another matter. I found the cottage cheese a bit dry, so I added a little sour cream, and chose frozen currants, blackberries and raspberries from the berries. After it was taken out of the oven, it cooled a little and sprinkled with powdered sugar. The apples turned out magically delicious, you can sometimes spoil the kids this way, so as not to feed them cookies and candies from the store. Thanks for the recipe!
