Simple apple pie is a classic dish of Russian cuisine, filled with the warmth and coziness of home. Its roots go back to ancient times when apples were one of the most accessible fruits and baking with them symbolized family traditions. The tender dough made from whipped eggs, sugar, and flour acquires an airy texture and pairs perfectly with fragrant apple slices. The pie has a light sweetness, a pleasant tartness from the apples, and a thin crust that crunches with every bite. It can be served as a dessert with a cup of fragrant tea or complemented with cream for added richness in flavor. Its simplicity in preparation makes it a favorite among homemakers, while its consistently delightful taste is a beloved treat within the family.
