How to cook Cottage cheese casserole with apples and raisins

Step 1

Preheat oven to 160°C. Soak raisins in warm water for 15-20 minutes. Then drain in a colander and pat dry.

Step 2

Mix semolina, flour, starch, baking powder and salt. Beat eggs, yolks, sugar and sour cream until smooth.

Step 3

Continuing to beat (preferably with an immersion blender, but you can also use a mixer), add a little cottage cheese. When all the cottage cheese is added, pour in the dry mixture and mix thoroughly. Let the mass stand for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Peel the apples from the peel and core, cut into slices and sprinkle them with lemon juice. Add the lemon zest and raisins to the batter and mix.

Step 5

Generously grease a deep form with oil, sprinkle with a little semolina. Lay the apples on the bottom of the mold. Gently spread the dough over them. Put the casserole in the oven for 45-60 minutes. A wooden skewer inserted into the center of the finished casserole should come out dry.

Step 6

Cool the casserole on a wire rack, 15 minutes. Carefully invert the casserole onto a platter. Serve with sour cream or jam, warm or cold.
