   Add eggs to the cottage cheese and stir well. Then add sugar (1 cup) and vanilla – mix everything until smooth. Don't be confused by the fact that the filling turns out to be liquid at first glance – so the pie will be juicier.

   Then we start the dough. We take the butter and send it to the freezer in advance, and then rub it on a coarse grater. Frozen oil is much easier to work with! Add the butter to the flour and start mixing everything together with your hands. Our task is to make sure that the oil does not stick together. Then add sugar (1 cup), salt and baking powder. Again, we interfere with everything with our hands. According to the structure, the dough should turn out like sand - soft and crumbly.

4. Step 4:

   

   The form in which we will bake the cake is well greased with butter, preheat the oven to 170C in advance. We begin to collect our cheesecake. Pour a little more than half of the dough onto the bottom of the mold and tamp it.

7. Step 6:

   

   And spread the cottage cheese on the apples.

8. Step 7:

   

   Put a layer of apples again.

9. Step 8:

   

   And then pour the remaining dough on top. We level it and also slightly press it with our hands. Put the cheesecake in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Make sure that the top does not burn, for this you can cover the cheesecake with foil.

10. Step 9:

    

    When the cheesecake is cooked, give it time to cool down. Cut it into pieces and serve it with tea or coffee. Tender, crumbly, while juicy inside, thanks to apples and cottage cheese, cheesecake will be to the taste of your whole family!
