Manna-apple pie is a tender and aromatic treat that harmoniously combines the softness of semolina and the freshness of apples. Its roots go back to Russian cuisine, where the simplicity of ingredients and cozy taste play a key role. The kefir-based dough gives the pie a special lightness, while grated apples sprinkled with lemon juice make it juicy and slightly sour. A light hint of vanillin emphasizes the sweetness, while cinnamon adds warmth. It is ideal as a dessert for family tea time or a cozy evening treat. Due to its simple preparation and availability of ingredients, this pie is loved by many for its softness and rich flavor that warms the soul and evokes memories of home comfort.
