Apple cheese (Lithuanian: Obuolių sūris) is a traditional Lithuanian dessert, made out of boiled or cooked apples sweetened with sugar.[1][2] Originally it was made with honey, which was later replaced by sugar.[3]

History

Apple cheese originated in the Middle Ages. The oldest dated recipe was written by the cook in the house of Radvila.[4]

In 1907, the recipe for apple cheese was published in the Lithuanian magazine Lietuvos virėja from Lithuania's capital Vilnius.[5]
