Are you looking for a way to use up apples that are past their best?🤔 Turn them into a simple apple cobbler! This recipe is proof that even less fresh fruit can be turned into something delicious. The apples get baked, release juice, and create a sweet sauce that gets under the crunchy base.
And the best part? We serve it hot, with cold curd cheese. The contrast between temperatures and flavours is addictive. You're also getting fibre and good quality protein thanks to the curd cheese and wholemeal flour. And that's always a bonus when it comes to a dessert.

Per 8 portions
- 80 g butter
- 4 apples
- 30 g cane sugar
- cinnamon
- 210 g wholegrain flour
- 30 g cane sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 180 ml milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 250 g semi-fat quark
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Put butter in a baking tray (20x30cm) and let it melt in the oven until it's fragrant. Then take it out, keep the oven running.
-
Peel and stone the apples. Cut them into thin half‑moons. Mix them in a bowl with sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon.
💡 If the apples are too hard, you can fry them in a pan for 5 minutes to soften up, however they will get soft enough in the oven.
-
In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add milk and whisk until you have a smooth, liquid batter (thicker than pancake batter).
-
Pour the batter into the tray with the hot butter. DON'T MIX IT! Leave the batter to spread into the butter, just lightly press it towards the bottom.
-
Spread the flavoured apples over the batter evenly (together with the juice they released). Don't mix.
-
Bake for 35‑45 minutes, until the surface is golden and the batter is set (use the toothpick test in a spot without apple).
-
Serve it hot, with a dollop of curd cheese on top.
