2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder

4. Fold in the rolled oats and diced apple until evenly combined.
5. Divide the mixture between the prepared baking dishes.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Notes
Use a sweet, firm apple such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji.
Blend the cottage cheese first if you prefer a smoother texture.
Do not overbake, as this can make the cottage cheese dry.
Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.
