There are no words to express the delight of the author of the recipe about this wonderful, aromatic pie! At first glance, it would seem – the same charlotte! But no. This is not the apple pie familiar to everyone. Similar, but different. If Raikin had been alive, he would have said: “the taste is special.” And he would be absolutely right. Quince fried in oil and caramel is a real culinary find because it gives a special charm to this fruit. And most importantly, the quince guarantees that older people can chew its slices! The dough is also surprising. This is not a traditional sponge cake with a whole mountain of eggs. There are only 2 eggs, but an accurate description of the process of beating and mixing the dough guarantees an excellent result. The dough turns out airy, not cloyingly sweet. Just the way it should be in order to highlight the velvety taste of this fruit. The baking impression is exceptionally excellent. I’m adding this pie to my collection of recipes. As soon as quince becomes cheaper, I will bake it again and again!
