Cottage cheese casserole with apples and raisins is a delicate and airy treat that comes from European cuisine but is widely loved around the world. Its roots trace back to traditional village recipes where cottage cheese was valued for its nutrition and benefits. The casserole combines the creamy texture of cottage cheese, the light sweetness of raisins, and the freshness of apples to create a harmonious flavor with a delicate tang. Semolina gives it a tender structure while baked apples add an appetizing caramelized note. This dish is perfect for breakfast, afternoon tea, or a cozy family dinner. It can be served with sour cream, honey, or fruit sauce to enhance the layers of flavor. The casserole is not only delicious but also healthy as cottage cheese is rich in calcium and protein while fruits provide freshness and vitamins.
