Cottage cheese-apple crumble is a refined dessert of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of cottage cheese with the crunchy texture of aromatic crumbs. Its history roots in classic British crumble, but the addition of cottage cheese and apples gives it a rich flavor and juiciness. The light acidity of apples harmonizes with the softness of cottage cheese, while the crispy golden crumbs add contrast. This dessert is perfect for a cozy tea time or as an elegant finish to a meal. Baking makes it especially fragrant, and prolonged cooling allows the flavors to fully develop. Cottage cheese-apple crumble is served warm or chilled, complemented by sour cream, honey, or berry sauce, creating a rich flavor palette.

Cooking steps

1. For the dough, mix 120 g of softened butter, 240 g of flour, and 50 g of sugar in a bowl (with hands/fork) until crumbly. Put it in the fridge.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 120 g
   • Wheat flour: 290 g
   • Sugar: 350 g

2. For the filling, separate 6 eggs into yolks and whites. Whisk the yolks with 300 g of sugar until fluffy and light yellow. Add 200 g of sour cream and mix. Then add the zest of half a lemon (or orange). Next, add 800 g of cottage cheese and mix well. Grate 2 peeled small apples on a fine grater and mix with 2 tablespoons of flour. Combine this with the cottage cheese mixture. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the cottage cheese mixture from bottom to top.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 6 pieces
   • Sugar: 350 g
   • Sour cream: 200 g
   • Lemon zest: 1 tablespoon
   • Cottage cheese: 800 g
   • Apple: 2 pieces
   • Wheat flour: 290 g

3. Place half of the crumbs in the mold. Press the crumbs down at the bottom of the mold. Spread the cottage cheese mixture over the crumbs. Sprinkle with the remaining crumbs on top. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 40 minutes until the crumbs are golden. The center of the pie should still jiggle slightly. Leave to cool completely. You can do this in the cooling oven or overnight. Cut into squares and serve with tea.
