80 minutes
Cottage cheese casserole with apple and prunes is the embodiment of home comfort and tenderness. This dessert, popular in European cuisine, combines the airy texture of cottage cheese with the juiciness of apple and the sweetness of prunes. The casserole has a rich, slightly caramel flavor enhanced by the warm aroma of vanilla and cinnamon. Such a dish is perfect for breakfast or a light dessert, especially in cold seasons when one craves warmth and sweet comfort. Historically, casseroles were a simple and accessible way to use cottage cheese, which has always been valued for its benefits and nutrition. The addition of fruits makes the dish even brighter and healthier, while the softness of baked prunes adds a refined sweetness to it. This is an ideal option for those seeking a balance between taste enjoyment and healthy eating.
