Pulse to combine the dry ingredients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add\u00a0<strong>3\/4 cup softened butter<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>1 egg<\/strong>\u00a0to the flour mixture. Process until a smooth dough forms. If you don\u2019t have a food processor, you can also do this by hand by rubbing the butter into the flour mixture until crumbly, then adding the egg and kneading until smooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wrap the dough in foil or plastic wrap and\u00a0<strong>refrigerate for 30 minutes<\/strong>. This chilling time helps the dough firm up, making it easier to handle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After chilling,\u00a0<strong>divide the dough into two parts<\/strong>\u2014one slightly larger for the base and a smaller portion for the sides.<a href=\"https:\/\/notycheese.com\/apple-yogurt-pancakes-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Roll Out the Dough<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Roll out the larger portion of dough<\/strong>\u00a0on a floured surface or directly in a baking paper-lined form\u00a0<strong>(28 x 18 cm \/ 11 x 7 inches)<\/strong>. Press it into the bottom to cover the entire surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roll out the smaller portion of dough on a floured surface and\u00a0<strong>divide it into four parts<\/strong>. Use these pieces to line the edges of the form, pressing gently to adhere to the base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pierce the dough all over with a fork<\/strong>\u00a0to prevent it from puffing up during baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pre-bake the dough in a preheated oven at 160\u00b0C (320\u00b0F) for 10 minutes<\/strong>. This step ensures that the base stays crisp when the filling is added.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Prepare the Apples<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Remove the cores from the apples and peel them<\/strong>. To keep them from browning, place them in a bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Arrange the apples on the pre-baked dough<\/strong>\u00a0in the mold, spacing them evenly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Make the Filling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In a large bowl,\u00a0<strong>beat 1\/2 cup softened butter with 1 1\/4 cups powdered sugar<\/strong>\u00a0until light and fluffy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whip 3\/4 cup of whipping cream<\/strong>\u00a0with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add\u00a0<strong>1\/4 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/strong>\u00a0while whipping to infuse the cream with a subtle vanilla flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gradually add\u00a0<strong>4 eggs, one at a time<\/strong>, to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. This will help the mixture remain smooth and prevent it from curdling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add\u00a0<strong>2 cups of low-fat cottage cheese<\/strong>\u00a0and the whipped cream to the egg mixture.\u00a0<strong>Mix until smooth<\/strong>. The cottage cheese adds a light tang and creaminess to the filling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pour the\u00a0\u00a0creamy\u00a0mixture over the apples<\/strong>\u00a0in the mold, making sure it fills all the gaps between the apples.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sprinkle the top with almond flakes<\/strong>.

The filling should set and the top should turn a light golden brown.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cover the\u00a0\u00a0cake\u00a0with baking paper 15 minutes before the end of baking<\/strong>\u00a0to prevent it from over-browning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once done, remove from the oven and\u00a0<strong>let the cake cool down completely before serving<\/strong>. This cooling time allows the filling to set fully, making it easier to slice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Serving and Storage Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Serve the dessert chilled or at room temperature<\/strong>, sliced into squares. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Storage:<\/strong>\u00a0Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
