Apple pie with sour cream
8 servings
70 minutes
Sour cream apple pie is a cozy treat of Russian cuisine, where soft dough combines with delicate sour cream filling and aromatic apples. The history of such pies goes back centuries when housewives baked them in Russian ovens using available seasonal products. Sour cream gives the pastry a special velvetiness, while apples add natural sweetness and a slight tartness. This pie harmoniously intertwines textures: crispy dough, soft apples, and delicate cream. It is best served slightly warm with a cup of tea or milk, and cinnamon makes the taste especially warming. Such a pie is perfect for family tea gatherings, filling the home with the aroma and warmth of homemade baking.
