Bulk Apple Pie with Raisins

5 servings

60 minutes

The crumbly apple pie with raisins is a traditional treat of Russian cuisine that delights with its simplicity and incredible taste. Its roots go back to village baking, where housewives used available ingredients to create a fragrant and cozy dessert. Shortcrust pastry, semolina, and tender sweet apples soaked in cinnamon and lemon juice create a crispy yet juicy texture. Raisins add a light sweetness and richness of flavor. This pie is perfect for tea time, especially with aromatic black tea or a warming herbal drink. It can be served warm or cold, complemented by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of sour cream. The simplicity of preparation makes it accessible even for beginner cooks, while its taste evokes warm memories of home comfort.
