60 minutes

Cheese corners are a refined German pie that harmoniously combines the sweetness of apples, the spiciness of blue cheese, and the tenderness of goat cheese. This dish likely has roots in ancient German baking traditions where the combination of fruits and cheese is quite common. The crispy dough with added Emmental cheese gives it a special aroma and rich flavor. It can be served warm or cold, perfectly complementing a glass of wine or beer. Cheese corners will adorn any feast, especially if you want to surprise guests with an unusual combination of flavors. They are great as an appetizer or as a standalone dish for cozy evenings with loved ones.
