Baked apples with cottage cheese, cinnamon under a crispy crust

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Everything is very simple and fast. I mix cottage cheese with sugar and cinnamon, and yolk. I mix everything well. If there are grains, you can punch it with a blender. Here is such a beautiful, homogeneous mass I got. I put it aside. In the meantime, I'll take care of the apples.

2. Step 2:

   

   I cut off the top of the apples

3. Step 3:

   

   And using a spoon, I remove the core.

4. Step 4:

   

   These are the blanks I got.

5. Step 5:

   

   I fill the apples with cottage cheese. For convenience, I poured the curd mass into a pastry bag.

6. Step 6:

   

   And I send it to the preheated oven to 160-165 degrees for 15 minutes. But it is better to focus on your oven and on a light golden crust.

7. Step 7:

   

   And while the apples are in the oven, I'll cook meringue (meringue). I ALWAYS whisk proteins for meringue in glass or metal dishes. Because plastic has the properties to absorb fat, and this is the first enemy of meringue. In a dry and clean bowl, whisk the protein with a pinch of salt to a soft foam.

9. Step 8:

   

   And then gradually introduce sugar. Here is such a glossy, stable meringue should turn out.

10. Step 9:

    

    I put it in a pastry bag for convenience. And after the apples are slightly baked, I plant the meringue.

11. Step 10:

    

    And again I send it to the oven, but already preheated to 120 degrees, and I will focus on a dry and crispy crust.

12. Step 11:

    

    It took me 30 minutes to do it.

13. Step 12:

    

    I let it cool down and, if desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar or cocoa.

14. Step 13:

    

    And you can call everyone to the table. Apples turn out very fragrant, juicy, moderately sweet. I really hope you like it! Join us!! Bon appetit!!!
