Step 1
Peel and slice apples into thin matchsticks. Toss with 2 tbsp sugar, cinnamon, and raisins.
Step 2
Mix cottage cheese with 1 tbsp sugar until combined.
Step 3
Lay one phyllo sheet on a work surface. Brush lightly with melted butter. Layer two more sheets, brushing each.
Step 4
Spread half the cottage cheese along the long edge, leaving a 2-inch border. Top with half the apple mixture.
Step 5
Roll tightly from the filled edge, tucking in the sides as you go. Transfer seam-side down to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6
Repeat with remaining phyllo, butter, cheese, and apples. Brush both rolls with remaining butter.
Step 7
Bake at 400°F until golden brown, about 12–15 minutes. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
