After the oven, dried apricots become sour, so it is advisable to put more sugar in the sweet tooth. I prefer the combination of a sweet curd layer with the sourness of a layer of dried apricots.

An unusually tender curd casserole with dried apricots, dense and at the same time “airy”, practically - a quick and very useful curd cake.
A delicious "diet" breakfast, afternoon snack and even dessert, is good both warm and cold.
The recipe is very simple, classic, the secret of success is as cottage cheese: it should be fresh, uniform, tasty, not sour, not fat (without yellow inclusions, but not fat-free).
In addition to dried apricots, you can add a handful of nuts (walnuts or hazelnuts), dried cranberries, dates or raisins to this casserole.
Step 1
Rinse dried apricots, steam with boiling water.
Step 2
Turn the oven on until 200 °FROM.
Step 3
Mash cottage cheese with a fork, add eggs to it
(1 yolk set aside, we use it to lubricate the casseroles),
semolina, sugar and vanilla sugar.
Stir everything thoroughly, but do not beat.
If we add nuts, raisins or other dried fruits to the casserole, in addition to dried apricots, they must be mixed in the cottage cheese at this stage, moreover, the raisins, dried cranberries, dates, etc. must first be thoroughly washed and dried, and the dates also cut.
Step 4
Lubricate the ceramic baking dish with butter. Put the curd mass in the prepared form, smooth, top, if desired, grease with yolk mixed with sour cream (1 yolk + 1 tablespoon of sour cream or just 1 yolk + 1 tablespoon of water).
Step 5
In the surface of the casserole, at a certain distance from each other, press a whole dried apricots.
Step 6
Put the cottage cheese mass into the preheated oven, immediately reduce the temperature to 160 °FROM.
Bake for about 30-40 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the prepared casserole from the oven, hold along the sides with a knife, let it cool slightly and cover with a towel.
Cooled can be cut and eat.
Classic cottage cheese casserole with dried apricots
This cottage cheese casserole is best tasted cold (best of all - straight from the refrigerator), to hot unsweetened tea.
To do this, put the completely cooled casserole in the refrigerator (you can directly in the form, covering it with parchment on top), let it brew for several hours (ideally - until the morning) and cut into portions immediately before use.
Bon Appetit.
In principle, cottage cheese goes well with all dried fruits. But, since we have a dietary dish, it is better to choose a product with the lowest glycemic index (GI). In raisins it is equal to 65, and in prunes and dried apricots it is about the same - about 30.
Let me remind you that the glycemic index reflects the effect of products on changes in blood sugar levels after their use. So, a GI of up to 40 is low.
With prunes, I also make this casserole, but I get tired of this taste faster. But with dried apricots - no. In addition, with it, the casserole acquires a beautiful golden amber color :)
So, the following ingredients will be needed:
1 cup dried apricots
0.5 teaspoon of salt
mold release oil
I especially note that there is not a single gram of sugar and flour in the composition.
Cooking:
Rinse the dried apricots well. If dry - steam or pour boiling water for 15 minutes. Finely chop.
Add to it an egg, semolina and salt.
Add cottage cheese. Fat content is optional. This time I have 18%. If you wish, you can take it completely fat-free. Casserole does not suffer from this - checked! If the cottage cheese is good, uniform, without lumps, you can not wipe it through a sieve.
Since the ingredients are launched all together, it is important to mix the mass thoroughly until completely homogeneous.
Lubricate the bottom and sides of the mold with vegetable or butter. Put the resulting mass in it, evenly distribute.
My shape is small - rectangular, 18 x 25 cm. The casserole is low, it is well baked.
Lubricate with greasy sour cream on top (I have 20%). If there is no sour cream, it does not matter, it will be tasty without it :)
Put the mold in a preheated oven, bake for about 40 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. Make sure that the top is not burnt. Put the finished casserole on a board or dish.
Divided into portions and enjoy the taste! :)
The casserole will appeal to those who are not spoiled with sweets. I began to gradually reduce the amount of sugar in baking when my mom was diagnosed with diabetes. And now she refused it in some dishes. Now I can’t even imagine why sugar is needed here! :)
Last week a friend came to visit me, I treated him to such a casserole. I forgot to warn that she was sugar free. She remembered when we already ate it)) He said that it was very tasty and did not even think about sugar - is it there or not.
Now this is one of my favorite recipes - it turns out quickly, tasty and healthy!

Weigh out the right amount of ingredients, rub the zest of 1 lemon on a fine grater.
We wash 200 g of dried apricots, soak it until it swells, cut into medium-sized cubes. If we have fresh apricots, then we need more of them - 500 g. We clean them from the skin (you can pour over boiling water to simplify the process), remove the stone and cut it into cubes as well.
We rub 350 g of cottage cheese through a sieve so that the consistency is tender, uniform.
We mix 35 g of softened butter (not margarine!) And 60 g of sugar, add a pinch of salt, then add 100 g of sour cream and 2 eggs.
Add cottage cheese, mix thoroughly (you can use a mixer).
Add the zest, mix.
3 tbsp. l mix semolina with 1.5 tsp. baking powder, add to the mixture and send the same dried apricots or apricots. The dough should turn out a little thicker than sour cream. If it seems to you that the mass is liquid, add another 1-2 tablespoons of semolina.
I used a circular demountable mold with a diameter of 20 cm. If you take a mold with a larger diameter, the casserole will be lower and you will need to bake it a little less. I covered the bottom with baking paper to make it easier to remove the finished casserole from the mold.
Put the dough in a mold, sprinkle with almond petals (20 g) on \u200b\u200btop, if desired, you can put small pieces of butter for greater goldenness.
We bake in a well-heated oven at a temperature of 175-180 degrees for about 35-45 minutes (focus on your oven!). Once the top turns gold, you can turn it off and let it cool. Then carefully walk with a knife or spatula along the sides, carefully remove the casserole (it is better to remove the chilled one) and transfer to a dish.
