Directions

1. Step

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add cold butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in egg yolks, sugar, and sour cream until a dough forms.

2. Step

Blend the dried apricots in a blender until smooth. Spread the apricot puree over the prepared dough.

3. Step

Beat the egg whites until frothy, then add sugar and beat until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, combine cottage cheese, sour cream, cornstarch, and vanilla sugar. Fold the whipped egg whites into this mixture gently. Pour this cheese mixture over the apricot layer.

4. Step

Combine flour, sugar, and butter in a bowl. Mix until it forms coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the cheese layer.

5. Step

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the prepared dish in a 20 cm (8-inch) baking pan for 40–45 minutes or until golden brown and set.
