Method
Wash the apples1 and dry them; core them without cutting through the bottom.
Mix the cottage2 cheese with honey and raisins4 until smooth.
Fill the apples1: stuff each apple with the cottage2 cheese–honey mixture, pressing it lightly.
Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the filling.
Place the apples1 in a baking dish so they stand upright.
Bake at 180 °C for 20–25 minutes, until the apples1 are soft when pierced and the filling is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let stand for about 5 minutes; serve warm, optionally with more cinnamon.
Tips
- Why it works
- Core apples without cutting the bottom so the filling stays inside while baking. Use a knife to make a small hole at the top for stuffing.
- Substitutions
- Replace raisins with 10g chopped dates for chewier texture. Use 60g Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for tangier flavor.
- Common mistakes
- Overbaking turns apples mushy and filling dry; check doneness by piercing with a knife. Juice should run clear.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or store in an airtight container for 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften apples again.
- Serve with
- Pair with a cup of black tea or serve as a light dessert after savory soups.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
