By the way, there is one rather controversial recipe for such a dessert. This is grated apple pie.

Grated apple pie with curd cream
The recipe is surprisingly simple.And the pie is prepared incredibly quickly. However, a simple recipe does not mean a simple dish. You yourself will be pleasantly surprised by the delicate taste and chic appearance of such a pie. Ingredients:
- Half a glass of sugar;
- 2 cups of flour;
- A packet of baking powder;
- 1 packet of margarine.
For the filling:
- 4-5 apples;
- A pack (250 grams) of soft curds;
- Half a glass of sugar;
- 2 eggs;
- Pinch of vanillin.
Preparation:First, grate the cooled margarine on a coarse grater or chop finely with a knife. Now pour flour, baking powder and sugar into a bowl with margarine. Then rub everything into crumbs with your hands. If the dough sticks to your hands, you can add a little flour - the crumbs should be quite dry. At this point, we can consider our grated dough ready. It's time for the filling. But first, we turn on the oven to heat it up to 200-220 degrees. Then wash and peel the apples, remove the hard core with seeds, and cut the pulp into very thin slices. In a separate bowl, rub soft (without grains) cottage cheese with sugar, vanilla and two raw eggs. Take a mold (dry!) and pour two thirds of our grated dough into it, distributing it in an even layer. Place apple slices on top of the crumbs - in a circle and overlapping. And pour the curd cream on top. Pour the cream gradually, using a tablespoon, so that it spreads in an even layer. Now pour the remaining flour crumbs as a third layer and put them in the pie pan in the oven. As soon as the top of the pie is browned, it can be taken out of the oven. But not out of the pan! It is necessary for the pie to cool completely in the pan. And carefully remove the already cooled dessert and transfer it to a plate.

- A half cup of semolina;
- 1 teaspoon baking soda.
For the filling:
- One and a half kilograms of fresh apples;

Preparation:The recipe is really very simple. To prepare the dough, you just need to pour flour, granulated sugar, semolina and baking soda into a bowl, and then mix everything well. For the filling, peel the apples and grate them on a coarse grater. Now grease the baking dish with butter and turn on the oven. While the oven is heating up to 150 degrees, assemble the pie. First, pour a little dry dough on the bottom, and put an even layer of grated apples on top (half). And so we alternate all the dough with grated apples - you should get three layers of dough and two layers of filling. Put the dry dough as the last layer and sprinkle it with shavings of frozen butter. Send the mold with the pie into the oven and leave it there for an hour. Let the finished pie cool right in the mold, and then take it out and transfer it to a plate. Well, now all that's left for us to do is try our wonderful pie with grated apples.
