Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in the rolled oats (or almond flour), ground cinnamon, and baking powder until fully incorporated.
Carefully fold in the diced apples, ensuring each piece is coated, then spread evenly in the baking dish.
