Its name reflects the ease of preparation: just three main dry ingredients – flour, sugar, and semolina – in equal proportions. The pie has a soft texture and a rich apple aroma that unfolds through layers of fresh grated apples. Butter and milk add tenderness, creating a harmonious flavor. This pie is perfect for cozy family tea times or festive gatherings. Its uniqueness lies in the layering of dry and wet ingredients, allowing for an unusual texture where the softness of the apples combines with the delicate crumbly dough. Easy to make, it captures hearts with its warmth and homely charm.

Glace is a refined coffee drink that originated from European cafes and became popular in Russian cuisine. Its delicate flavor is a harmony of hot strong coffee, sweet vanilla ice cream, and crunchy nuts. The contrast of temperatures makes glace especially refreshing, while the rich coffee notes are beautifully complemented by the creamy softness of melted ice cream. This drink is served as a dessert, allowing one to enjoy its tender texture and rich aroma. Glace is often garnished with nuts, chocolate crumbs, or even caramel to emphasize its elegance. It is an ideal choice for morning enjoyment or an exquisite conclusion to a meal.
