Sweet and sour orange pie
8 servings
60 minutes
The sweet and sour orange pie is a true celebration for lovers of the harmonious blend of fruity freshness and delicate dough. This dessert draws inspiration from European culinary traditions where citrus fruits are often used to add vibrant flavor notes to dishes. Juicy orange slices placed at the bottom of the pan and sprinkled with pistachios create an amazing balance of acidity and sweetness. The airy dough made from whipped eggs and flour envelops the filling, forming a golden crust. Baked citrus fruits acquire a caramelized texture, filling the pie with a rich aroma. It can be served as a standalone treat or complemented with vanilla ice cream. This pie is an excellent option for cozy tea time or festive dinners, awakening warm memories and creating an atmosphere of comfort.
