Step 1
Sift the cottage cheese through a sieve or blend it with a blender until smooth and uniform in consistency. This is especially important if you're using homemade cottage cheese. Warm the margarine or butter to room temperature and add it to the cottage cheese. Add salt, flour, and baking soda to the mixture. Knead until you have an elastic and soft dough.

Wash the apples and peel them. Cut each apple in half. Use a teaspoon to remove the core and seeds.

Step 3
To ensure the apples are fully cooked, you should first blanch them slightly. To do this, take a saucepan, bring water to a boil, and place the apple halves in it for five minutes. Remove, cool, and dry the fruit.

Step 4
In a separate small glass bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. You can use powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar. Optionally, you may use brown sugar. Place the resulting mixture into the apple halves.

Step 5
Roll out the dough by any convenient method. It should not be too thin, as the cheese dough tears very easily. The approximate thickness should be 4-5 millimeters. Then, using a sharp knife, cut the dough into squares large enough to wrap the apple pieces.

Step 6
On each square, place half an apple so that the filling of sugar and cinnamon ends up on the bottom.

Step 7
Fold the corners together to form a little envelope. You can cut out a decorative shape from the dough to attach on top—for example, a flower. Brush the envelopes with beaten raw egg or plain water, and bake in a preheated 200-degree oven for about forty minutes.
