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!

This cake was terrible! It was dry, crumbly, and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This cake was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping it would be. The crumble topping was good, but the cake itself was a bit bland.

I found this cake to be a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid next time. The crumble topping was good, but it didn't really stick to the cake.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time. The crumble topping was delicious.
