This cake, or rather a pie, is the dessert for those you love. It smells and tastes like home, as if your granny was making one and treating you to a slice right from the oven. During my childhood, there barely any days when we didn’t have this cake at home. As soon as one was finished, grandma would make another (sometimes opting for plums instead and turning apple cake into plum cake).
Juicy apples, moist dough, and a pleasant cinnamon aftertaste make this pie a perfect snack on a rainy day. If there’s nothing tasty in your pantry to go with tea, Yabluchnyk is your number one solution. With simple ingredients and straightforward preparation, this pie can rightfully compete with fancy chocolate desserts. Check it out yourself.
