Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 180 °C and grease a baking dish with coconut oil.
2
In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, egg yolks, maple syrup, vanilla, and lemon zest. Add the spelt semolina and cinnamon, and stir well.
3
Peel two apples and grate them directly into the cottage cheese mixture. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the semolina softens slightly.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt into stiff peaks. Gently and slowly fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture with a spatula to keep it airy.
5
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Slice the third apple into thin slices and arrange them on top of the bake.
6
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the bake turns golden brown and feels firm to the touch. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting to allow the texture to set.
