Apple pie with cottage cheese dough
Description
It pairs perfectly with tea and coffee. The cottage cheese dough is fragrant and easy to make. I don't add any flavoring to this dough; the smell of dairy products is pleasant on its own, but if desired, you can add a couple of drops of vanilla or almond extract. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.

Place the dough in a butter‑greased pan. The dough is thick and sticky, but spreads well with a silicone spatula. Spread it in the pan in a thick layer, slightly raising the edges.

Peel the apples and cut them into large wedges. Arrange them on top of the dough like tiles, gently pressing them into the dough.

Step 5
Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon, drizzle with caramel, and top with almond flakes. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 40–45 minutes. The pie will turn golden brown, the edges will start to pull away from the pan, and a toothpick will come out dry.
