Baked Apples with Raspberry topping
Baked apples are naturally sweet and require only some time and fantasy. They can be stuffed with a variety of tasty things such as nuts, dried fruit, grated pumpkin or carrot, white cheese and so on. Autumn apples are so fresh, juicy and sweet that I bake them usually plain, serving with any fresh berry sauce…

Crêpes with Apple Filling
Easy homemade crêpes with a delicious apple filling. The recipe is good for both sweet and savory applications. After completing cooking and filling a batch of these I’ve got a few spare ones.

Cottage Cheese Coconut Bake
A quick and nourishing breakfast/brunch recipe that might be also served as a dessert.I love white cheeses, cottage cheese and quark in particular.

Easy Apple Strudel (Apfelstrudel)
One easy variation of the apple strudel with raisins. Easy because it uses only 1 layer of dough. The idea of the traditional Apfelstrudel is about a dough rolled around a filling to form many layers. It must be really thin to obtain a flacky texture. And here comes the complexity – stretching the dough without breaking…
Oaty Cookies with Almonds & Fruit (vegan)
Vegan oat cookies stuffed with almonds and dried fruit! From the series “travel bake”:) A portable snack I’ve made once before a trip. These cookies are very crumbly because of the oat flour.

Cottage Cheese Cookies (Ukrainian: Syrne Pechyvo)
One of my favourite cookies of all time: cheesy, semi-sweet, flacky, crumbly and crunchy! They also can be savory if salt and spices are added instead of sugar (this variation likes even Nil, the cat!:))). As a part of the experiment, I didn’t add baking powder to these cookies, so they didn’t rise much. Usually…
Spiced Almond Pear Pie
This semi-sweet pear pie is one of those melting-in-your-mouth desserts. Its almond crust is super tender and crumbly, the pear filling is zesty and luscious. Tastes best on the second day when spices enhance the flavour even more. Despite not-so-pretty “dark” look the pie tastes heavenly:) Happy baking! Serves 6-8Takes 1 hr 35 mins (prep –…
