Cottage cheese mini cakes with apples



These cakes are very easy and very fast to prepare. They also bake quickly so within an hour you might have some nice treats for yourselves or your guests. First, you need to prepare the stuffing for your cakes.



Ingredients:


1 kilo of soft apples
A few drops of lemon essence


Peel and grate your apples. Place them in a pot and slowly bring to boil. Leave on a low heat for about 15 minutes till soft.


Remove from the stove and let the mixture cool down. Then, sieve the mixture in order to get rid of the juices.


Place in a bowl and add a few drops of lemon essence. Stir well.


Now you’re ready to prepare your dough.



Ingredients:


300 grams of plain flour
1 packet of baking powder (available in all Polish shops as “proszek do pieczenia”)
1 packet of vanilla sugar (available in all Polish shops as “cukier waniliowy”)
150 grams of full fat cottage cheese (available in Polish shops as “twaróg”)
6 table spoons of milk
6 table spoons of oil
75 grams of sugar
A little bit of salt



Place all products in a bowl and use your mixer to combine them. Once your mixture resembles granules, put it on your table and nee the dough.


Sprinkle some flour on the table surface, flour the rolling pin and roll the dough till about 1 centimetre thick.


Cut reasonably big circles. Place some on your apple stuffing in the middle and seal the edges.


Place cakes on the baking tray, covered with geese proof paper.


Bake in preheated oven (165 degrees) for about 15 minutes.


Once baked, remove from the oven, put on a plate and cover with icing. The cakes must be hot.



Ingredients:


1 cup of icing sugar
Juice from half a lemon
Hot water

Put icing sugar into a bowl. Squeeze lemon juice and add a little bit of hot water. Use whisk to mix it. Make sure the consistency is quite dense.


Once ready, pour it over your cakes and let it set.
