Directions

  1. Combine farmer's cheese, melted butter, and milk in a bowl and stir until smooth.

  2. 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.

  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch springform cake pan.

  5. 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.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove and let cool in pan.

Recipe Note

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!
