Pie with cottage cheese and apples
This amazing cake will appeal to even the most rigorous expert. In addition to surprisingly fast cooking, it turns out to be incredibly tasty and very crumbly. The presence of cottage cheese in the pie is not at all felt, the dough comes out light and plastic and rolls out perfectly, therefore, if desired, it can be given the desired shape. Take the number of apples to your taste, however, the more of them, the juicier the pie. In order to do baking with cottage cheese and apples, you need to cook:

Kneading dough
Combine cottage cheese, sugar (sand and vanilla), melted butter, beat everything with a mixer or blender. Pour the egg and vegetable oil into the mass, mix and add soda. Thanks to the last ingredient, the dough will become porous. Lastly, flour is added and a plastic "docile" dough is kneaded. Roll it with a bun and wrap it with cling film, give it a rest for about 15 minutes.
Cooking
For baking, wash the apples well under running water, take out the core and cut into thin plates. It should be remembered that if apples are cut into thicker slices, they will not have time to bake. From this amount of dough and filling, you can make two pies or one big one. Roll out the dough into a large, even rectangle, visually divide (in length) it into three identical parts. Two side parts are cut into even or oblique stripes with a width of about one and a half centimeters. In the middle we put apples in two or three layers and sprinkle with sugar. Products with the help of side strips are braided in the form of a braid. Bake a cake for half an hour at 200 degrees, in the oven. Baking with apples is still hot sprinkled with powdered sugar, you can serve on the table both in warm and cold.
Openwork cookies with apples
For the dessert, we will use vanilla dough, and for the filling - apple jam or jam. The cookies are tasty, crispy and have a beautiful elegant appearance.

Cookie making
Rub the soft butter with sugar and vanilla, add the egg to the mass and mix. The last one we introduce the sifted flour with baking powder into the dough, knead and leave for 30 minutes, covering it with a napkin. We roll the dough into a ball, divide it into four parts, take one for work, and remove the other three under a napkin. We roll the fourth part into a thin circle and divide into six sectors. At the edges of the sector we make parallel cuts, stepping a bit from the edge, leave the middle whole: we will lay jam on it. Put it one teaspoon each. Cover the filling with one of the sides, fix it with your hand and overlap with the rest of the lap and also fix it slightly so that the product is more airy.
Cooked according to the recipe pastries with apples put in a form or a baking sheet and put in the oven for a quarter of an hour at 200 degrees. With the rest of the test we do the same. For the filling, you can also take apple jam, and it is better to make each part with a different filling.
French Dessert
We offer a very interesting and unusual dessert, prepared according to the French recipe - apple crustade (croustade). The dough that is used for this baking with apples is called filo and refers to the type of lingering. At home, it is not very easy to prepare, it is better to purchase it in a store. But if you want to cook it yourself, imagine the recipe below.
Filo dough
500 grams of flour, along with a teaspoon of salt, is twice sifted through a sieve into a container, six tablespoons of sunflower oil are poured there. Then warm water (35 degrees) is added to the mass and the dough is kneaded with a wooden spatula. If it turns out too thick, add a little water. We spread the dough on the table surface and, without adding flour, knead with hands. After that, the dough ball with force is repelled several times (15-20) on the working surface. The dough is placed in a sealed plastic bag and immersed in warm water for ten minutes. After this period of time, we divide the dough into pieces the size of a small tennis ball. After slightly dusting the table with flour, start pulling the dough in different directions, then covering it with a damp cloth, leave for five minutes.
Separately, we take each piece and gently pull it out, it is best to do this on baking paper or a towel. As a result, you should get a very thin transparent dough, but it should not break. The finished layer is lubricated with melted oil, another layer is prepared on it, prepared in a similar way. Depending on how thick the layers are, they are stacked in a stack of 3-4 pieces. The top layer is necessarily smeared. By the way, the filo dough is too thin and delicate, it dries very quickly, so it is extremely necessary to lubricate the layers with good oil. Despite the difficulty of preparation, apple baking with a recipe, where filo dough is indicated as an ingredient, is obtained with an amazing taste and an unusually beautiful appearance.
Ingredients for apple crustade
- cognac (rum, calvados) - 1 tbsp. l .;
- next oil - 20 g (10 g + 10 g);
- sugar - 4 tbsp. l .;
- apples (medium) - 2 pcs.;
- filo dough - 4 sheets.
First, let's get into the filling: cut the prepared apples (without seeds and peel) into small cubes and put in a saucepan with already melted butter (10 g) and sprinkle with sugar. Stew apples with sugar for a couple of minutes, pour in an alcoholic drink and evaporate it for one minute. By the way, alcohol can not be added, but replaced with vanilla. It will not affect the taste at all.
Making dessert
We cook crustades in portioned tins, and bake pastries with apples in the oven. We cut round layers of filo dough into four parts (the remaining must be covered with a damp cloth, as it dries quickly). We place in the molds so that the edges hang. Melt 10 g of oil, in the future we will grease the dough with it. Put a piece of dough, oiled in oil, into the mold, put the apple filling, the next layer of dough and the filling again, and the dough layer again. The edges of the latter are placed so that they seem to stand and hold the shape well, and from the hanging edges we do something in the form of a skirt. We grease the top of our effective puffs with oil. We put the baked pastry with apples in the oven. You need to cook twenty minutes (until golden brown) at a temperature of 180 degrees. Sprinkle with icing sugar and treat.

We put it in the oven for a quarter of an hour with a temperature of 180 degrees so that it “seizes” a little. Grate the apples, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and spread on top of the dough. Top with the remaining dough and bake for 45 minutes at the same temperature. The finished cake is decorated with icing sugar.

For 2-3 minutes, blanch the apple slices in water, it is important not to overexpose them in hot water so that they do not turn into porridge. After that, dry them on a paper towel.
Cooking method
We will directly deal with the preparation of puff pastries with apples: on a table sprinkled with flour, roll out the dough and cut it into ribbons 4-5 centimeters wide. Grease them with a beaten egg, sprinkle with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, you can also sprinkle with small, soft raisins. We lay apple slices along the upper part of the tape with an overlap, turn off the socket and put it in a form, for example, for muffins. Sprinkle with sugar on top. Before sending the baked goods to the oven, put the mold with the sockets in the refrigerator to make the dough more elastic. In an oven preheated to 180 degrees, put apple sockets and bake for about 50 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle baked goods with apples in powder and serve hot with ice cream, and in cold with hot tart tea. Such sockets can be made not only with various fruits, but also with vegetables, for example, with zucchini.

- apples
- puff pastry;
- next butter;
- sugar;

Cut the finished dough into four identical squares. Inside the squares, you need to make incisions in such a way that you get another square. Connect the lower left corner to the upper right corner of the inner square and again just the opposite. The result is a basket. At the bottom of the basket with a fork, make a few punctures. Pour a teaspoon of sugar on a baking sheet, we will put our products on them so that they become more crispy. Put thinly sliced apples in a basket, sprinkle with vanilla sugar and cinnamon. On top of pastries from puff pastry with apples , sprinkle with sugar a little more and put butter. We place the baskets in an oven with a temperature of 180 degrees for 20 minutes. After the dessert has cooled, you can decorate it with a ball of ice cream and serve immediately.

Then we add flour in portions, after each portion we mix from the bottom up. The dough should come out smooth and uniform. We prepare a detachable mold with a diameter of 22 cm, grease it with butter using a pastry brush and cover it with parchment.
We use green, preferably acidic, apples for baking. Cut into thin plates, lay on the bottom of the mold and fill with dough. Bake for 35 minutes at a temperature in the oven 180 degrees. It is advisable not to open the oven doors during baking so that the charlotte does not settle. We check the readiness of the product in the old reliable way: using a toothpick or a thin stick. Cool the prepared charlotte, remove it from the mold and turn it upside down. A delicious and lush dessert can be served at the table.
Apple pie "Accordion"
A very original dessert made from yeast dough with apples. It looks rather unusual and is distinguished by its amazing taste. Prepare the products:
Dough:
- next oils (soft.) - 50 g;
- flour - 300 g;
- cow's milk - 130 ml;
- yeast - 20 g;
- sea salt.
Filling:
- 3 hard sour apples (large);
- 50 g oils;
- a pinch of musk. a nut;
- 100 g of sugar;
- cinnamon.
We must sift the flour, start the dough. After it stands a little and increases in size, knead the yeast dough. We remove it in a warm place and leave it until it doubles in volume.
Rub apples on a coarse grater and sprinkle them with lemon juice. Combine sugar with spices. Roll out the fermented dough into a thin layer, grease it with oil and sprinkle it with plenty of sugar with spices. We remove the apples from the juice and lay on top of the sugar. Cut the dough with the filling into strips and stack them on top of each other. We cut the strips folded into each other into pieces (the width depends on the height of the form). We lay them in the form of a pie in a narrow shape - vertically. We do not recommend placing them too close to each other, since the dough is yeast, it needs a place for proofing. Covering the dough with a napkin, leave it for 20 minutes so that it fits. Bake for half an hour at 180 degrees.
