Persian Pie (cake)

The Persian apple pie cake is a delightful variation of traditional apple desserts, crafted as individual, wide, and short fluffy cakes. These cakes are made from a soft and airy batter, with a layer of spiced apples and cinnamon nestled in the middle. The apple filling often consists of finely chopped or thinly sliced apples that are caramelized with sugar, cinnamon, and sometimes a touch of cardamom or rosewater for a subtle Persian flair.

The cakes are typically baked in individual molds, resulting in charming, single-serving portions. Once baked, the exterior is golden and slightly crisp, while the interior remains moist and fluffy. The middle apple-cinnamon layer adds a burst of warmth and sweetness with every bite. These cakes are perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea, making them a favorite for gatherings or cozy evenings.
