Add wet ingredients: Add the butter (softened), vanilla, and egg(s). Mix until a dough forms.

Mix the filling ingredients: In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs, Stevia, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Prepare the apples: Thinly slice the apples and set them aside.
Assemble: Pour the cottage cheese mixture over the pre-baked crust. Arrange the apple slices on top and sprinkle chopped walnuts over them.
Bake:
Bake: Bake the assembled cake for 30-35 minutes, until the filling is set and the apples are tender.
Cool: Let the cake cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
