🍎 Hungarian Apple Cake 🇭🇺
“A slice of home, a taste of tradition.”
There’s something truly magical about a Hungarian Apple Cake. It’s not just a dessert — it’s a story told through layers of tender apples, buttery pastry, and warm cinnamon. If you’ve ever walked into a Hungarian grandma’s kitchen in autumn, chances are this cake was on the counter, cooling down as the scent filled the whole house. 💛
Known in Hungary as “Almás Pite”, this cake is soft, lightly spiced, and beautifully rustic. It’s the kind of dessert that’s perfect with a hot cup of tea, coffee, or a drizzle of vanilla sauce on a chilly afternoon.
