75 minutes
Grated apple pie is a delicate treat of Russian cuisine infused with the aroma of cinnamon and vanilla. Its origin is linked to traditional village recipes where the simplicity and availability of ingredients created a cozy atmosphere of home indulgence. The unique texture of this pie comes from layering dry mix and juicy apples, giving it extraordinary moisture. The light tartness of the apples harmonizes with the sweetness of the dough, while spices add a warm, cozy aroma. The taste of the pie evokes autumn evenings when one longs to warm up with a cup of tea and a piece of fragrant dessert. This pie is best enjoyed with a spoon, savoring its softness and rich fruity flavor. It suits both family breakfasts and cozy gatherings with friends.
