Grated pie with jam

Grated pie with jam is a cozy childhood memory filled with the aroma of fresh baking. This traditional dessert from Russian cuisine is made from tender crumbly dough that perfectly complements the fruity tartness of the jam. The history of the pie goes back to a time when simple and accessible ingredients allowed housewives to create delicious and heartfelt treats. An important feature is its texture: the grated top layer turns into a crispy golden crust when baked. Lingonberry, cranberry, or raspberry jam is often used to balance sweetness with pleasant tartness. This pie can be served with tea in a family circle or offered to guests, enjoying its delicate taste and ease of preparation.
