Russian apple cake with which apples?
Tart apple varieties are best for any Russian apple cake recipe, just like for the apple muffins recipe or the apple cookies recipe. This is because they perfectly complement the sweet dough and possibly the sweet filling. Of course, you can also make the cakes with other apples of your choice.
The fruit should also be tasty and aromatic. After all, the taste of the cake depends on it.

Tsvetaeva apple pie
The Tsvetaeva apple pie was loved by the famous Russian poet. That’s where its name comes from. Lovers of Tsvetaeva’s poems celebrate Marina Tsvetaeva’s birthday in the fall by making this cake.
The Tsvetaeva apple pie consists of a shortcrust pastry base and a sour cream filling. The generous portion of thinly sliced apple pieces provides a fruity and sweet sour taste.
Cake “Slavyanochka”
The “Slavyanochka” is a mix of a cake and a layer cake. It is a now little-known Soviet recipe.
The cake “Slavyanochka” consists of an airy cake base, juicy apple pieces and caramel buttercream. It is topped with nuts and chocolate.
