Rustic High-Protein Apple Cottage Cake
This apple cake with cottage cheese is a simple, rustic dessert that combines a tender buttery crust with a creamy, lightly sweet filling. The cottage cheese gives the cake a soft texture and a subtle tang, which pairs beautifully with the sliced apples and warm cinnamon on top. It’s an easy bake that works well for both everyday coffee breaks and casual gatherings, especially when served slightly warm with vanilla sauce.
