There is nothing superfluous here, everything is of natural origin, everything is very nutritious. Today we will prepare baked apples with cottage cheese and honey (so as not to add sugar), and we will also offer several more interesting options for healthy and tasty additions to the curd filling.
Apples with cottage cheese and honey
This is the simplest recipe. Everyone will like it for its ease of preparation and elegant taste of the treat.
For baking we need:
- three apples;
- two hundred grams of granular cottage cheese;
- two tablespoons of honey.
You need to cut off the top of the apples, where the tail is located, and use a spoon or vegetable peeler to remove the core with part of the pulp. It is necessary that the walls remain a centimeter thick and the bottom.
Mix cottage cheese with honey, if the honey is thick, then melt it in a water bath. We close each one with a lid and place it in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. It will only take a few minutes (depending on the size of the apples). You can determine the readiness of the dish by the well-wrinkled skin. Apples baked with cottage cheese and honey make an excellent afternoon snack. The dish is also suitable for a light dinner if you are on a diet.
Apples baked with cottage cheese and raisins
We won't use honey, we'll use more raisins. But if you have a sweet tooth, you can add honey too!
Ingredients:
- three red apples;
- two hundred grams of cottage cheese;
- half a glass of raisins.
The first step is to soak the raisins in warm water so that they steam and swell. Next, we wash it and mix it with cottage cheese. Add a spoonful of honey if desired.
Cut the tops off the apples, remove the core and part of the pulp, fill with cottage cheese and raisins, cover with the tops and put in the oven for ten minutes.
Apples, cottage cheese and nuts
Let's consider a more complex recipe that involves using more ingredients. Let's make baked apples with cottage cheese and nuts, add vanilla for a mind-blowing aroma and taste.
Let's take it for baking:
- three apples;
- 10 pieces of nuts (any);
- two hundred grams of cottage cheese;
- vanillin;
- a spoonful of butter;
- one chicken egg;
- a tablespoon of honey and one and a half tablespoons of semolina.
Place the nuts in a bowl and chop well; you can use a masher. Add semolina to the nuts, then melt the butter and pour into this mixture.
Divide the egg into white and yolk. We send the yolk to the nuts, put cottage cheese, honey and vanillin there (a small amount is enough - on the tip of a knife). Mix everything well, taste it, if it’s not sweet enough, add a little more honey.
Remove the top from the apples, take out the middle with some of the pulp and fill with the prepared mixture. You can cover it with lids, or you can leave it like that. We will use a microwave for cooking. Apples baked with cottage cheese in it turn out no worse than in the oven. We set the power to medium and send our apples there for ten minutes.
You can also use the oven. Apples baked with cottage cheese will not burst either in the microwave or in the oven and will turn out very tasty.
Apples with cottage cheese and banana
This is a very interesting cooking idea. Baked apples with cottage cheese, if you add banana to them, will become more tender and fragrant. You can prepare this dish for an afternoon snack, for breakfast, and even for a light snack before bed.
Ingredients:
- three large apples;
- one banana (must be as ripe as possible, even overripe);
- two hundred grams of cottage cheese;
- five spoons of cream;
- a tablespoon of honey.
As in previous cases, you need to cut off the tops of the apples and clean out the space for the filling using a spoon/peeler.
The cottage cheese must be mixed with liquid honey and mashed with a fork. Peel the banana, grind it in the same way and pour five tablespoons of cream into it. Add cottage cheese, mashed with honey, and mix well with a blender.
Stuff the apples with the resulting mixture, cover with lids and send to bake. Where to cook apples baked with cottage cheese - in the microwave or in the oven - is up to you. We set the microwave to medium mode and preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Cooking time in both cases is 10 minutes.
Apples baked with cottage cheese and berries
This is no less healthy dessert than all those described above. The cooking recipe is simple, it is best to use it in the summer, when you can get real berries, not frozen or grown with pesticides. If you don’t already know what to feed your child, then there’s no better way out. Everyone loves apples baked with cottage cheese!
We will need:
- three apples;
- a handful of any berries (you can use a mixture);
- a tablespoon of real honey.
The berries must be ground with cottage cheese and honey. You don’t have to grind them, leave them whole, and leave the cottage cheese grainy. Everything is at your discretion.
We remove the apples from the middle, as described in other cooking recipes. Without sparing the filling, we fill the cavity of the apples, cover them with lids and put them in the oven or microwave for ten minutes.
Apples with cottage cheese
We constantly peel the pulp from apples, but where do we put it? Let's use it for baking too. It will turn out very tasty: the applesauce inside will be baked, becoming soft, juicy and sweeter.
To prepare, take:
- three large apples;
- a spoonful of honey;
- one hundred grams of cottage cheese (more may be required, it depends on the size of the fruit).
As in all cases, our main ingredient must be freed for the filling. We discard the core, and grate the pulp on a fine grater.
Mix the cottage cheese with honey and also mash with a fork so that it takes up less space.
Place cottage cheese on the bottom of each apple so that only half is used. Next, you need to distribute the applesauce - spread it out so that a third of the apple is still free. Place cottage cheese on top again, cover with the tops and send to bake.
Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. By the way, this applies not only to this dessert, but also to all that are described above. Honey and apple juice become very hot and there is a high risk of getting seriously burned.
Apples with cottage cheese and chocolate
This is a recipe for real sweet tooths! Of course, eating a lot of chocolate is harmful, but in small quantities it is very healthy. If you are tormented by the winter blues, you are not in the mood, and you want to treat yourself to something tasty, then prepare these oven-baked apples with cottage cheese.
Products for cooking:
- three apples;
- two hundred grams of cottage cheese;
- milk chocolate bar.
We free the apples from the core and part of the pulp. Place a piece of chocolate on the bottom. Place a little cottage cheese on top and a few slices of chocolate on top. It is necessary to alternate until the space runs out, and there must certainly be chocolate on top!
Bake for ten minutes. Can be served either warm or cold. If the dish is warm, it will delight you with liquid chocolate. If it’s cold, use frozen chocolate and soft cottage cheese soaked in it.
Apples and cottage cheese are very healthy products, but individually they quickly become boring, and cottage cheese in general very quickly ceases to interest household members. A tasty and at the same time very healthy dish will help you get out of the situation, which allows you to make a real delicacy from ordinary products - apples baked with cottage cheese.

How to cook baked apples with cottage cheese?
In principle, you can take any available varieties of apples, just don’t take overripe or loose ones. It's best for the apples to be a little firm. It is also good to have a special device for removing the apple core. Unfortunately, I have not yet purchased this device for myself and therefore I use an ordinary kitchen knife.
So, wash the apples and cut out the core, but not completely. There should be a depression for the curd filling. Unfortunately, some of my apples ended up with wormy centers and I had to cut them in half to remove all the excess. But it’s okay, even halves of apples are quite suitable for filling with cottage cheese and baking.
apple molds
After preparing the apples, start preparing the curd filling. If you like the delicate structure of cottage cheese, then rub the cottage cheese through a sieve. If you prefer a grainy consistency, simply mash the cottage cheese with a fork.
Add raw yolk, sugar and a pinch of vanillin for flavor. Stir.
Fill the apples with curd filling, lightly tamping with a spoon and place in a baking dish greased with butter.
