Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small apple, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp oat flour or all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or a little oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, maple syrup or honey (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  2. Add the Apples: Gently fold the finely diced apple into the mixture, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed without breaking down.
  3. Form the Bites: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll each into a small ball shape with your hands.
  4. Cook the Bites: Lightly spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray or add a small amount of oil. Heat over medium heat and cook the bites, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Dust and Serve: While still warm, dust the bites with a mixture of cinnamon and a touch of sugar for added flavor and a finishing touch. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use a firm, crisp apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
  • If you prefer gluten-free, substitute oat flour or another gluten-free flour.
  • Maple syrup or honey is optional; omit it for a less sweet, lower sugar version.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure the bites cook through without burning.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
