Russian Apple Cake image

In Russia people use tvorog for the pastry, but you can substitute it with farmer's cheese or even ricotta. It is filled with a delicious apple-sour cream mixture, making a delicious cross between apple cake and pie. A Russian favorite that is well worth trying!

Time 1h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 ½ ounces farmer's cheese
3 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 apples, cored and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Combine farmer's cheese, melted butter, and milk in a bowl and stir until smooth.
  • Mix 1 3/4 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add to the ricotta mixture. Mix until pastry dough comes together. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch springform cake pan.
  • Press the chilled pastry into the bottom and sides of the cake pan. Add 1/2 the apples; top with 1/2 of the filling. Repeat layering, ending with the filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove and let cool in pan.
