Caramelized apple pie is a true embodiment of Russian home cooking. Its roots go back to the traditions of cozy family tea gatherings, where the aroma of baked apples and sweet caramel created a warm atmosphere. The delicate dough, made with cottage cheese and apple juice, gains softness and a light fruity note. The caramelized apples give the pie a rich flavor with a subtle balance of sweet and sour tones. Perfect for serving with tea or coffee, especially on cool evenings when you crave something warming and comforting. This pie not only delights in taste but also becomes the center of family traditions passed down through generations.
