  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of cottage cheese, 3 large eggs, ¼ cup maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of rolled oats (or almond flour), 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder until evenly distributed.
  4. Gently fold in 1 large apple, peeled and diced into small pieces, until well incorporated.
  5. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and level it out.
