Pie without adding eggs with apples and carrots
6 servings
60 minutes
This pie is a true masterpiece of Russian cuisine, lacking eggs but retaining incredible tenderness and aroma. The recipe likely emerged as a baking option for those fasting or with dietary restrictions. Apples and carrots add natural juiciness to the dough, while cinnamon, vanillin, and cloves provide an exquisite spicy fragrance. The sandy texture of semolina and flour soaked in fruit-vegetable filling makes the pie extraordinarily soft and pleasant. Grated margarine on top forms an appetizing golden crust. This pie pairs excellently with tea and can be served for breakfast, afternoon tea, or as a light dessert. Its egg-free nature makes it a good option for people with certain dietary restrictions. The simplicity of preparation makes it accessible even for novice cooks.
