Fluffy cottage cheese casserole with apples
Description
Delicious baked dish for the whole family. In addition to apples, you can add other fruits (such as bananas or peaches) — it turns out just as tasty. I use store-bought cottage cheese and don't sieve it before cooking, but you can if you'd like. The casserole turns out light and fluffy, with a pleasant taste and texture (thanks to the apples). It can be served with tea or coffee.
