Ingredients

2 cups 2% cottage cheese
1 carton (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon rum or vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
BATTER:
1-1/2 cups sour cream
6 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar

TOPPING:
1/4 cup butter, cubed
3 medium apples, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

For filling, place first 6 ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl.
Place batter ingredients in food processor; process until smooth. Pour half of the batter into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Drop tablespoons of filling over batter; cover with remaining batter. Refrigerate, several hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°. Remove casserole from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples and lemon juice. Cook and stir 5-7 minutes or until apples are tender. Add brown sugar and salt; cook 1 minute longer or until thickened. Stir in extract; cool slightly. Serve with casserole.
