Apple babka
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. As a child, we called this dish "lazy charlotte," but later I learned it's also known as apple babka. It originates from Europe, where people are very thrifty and make such tasty treats from stale bread. The recipe for apple babka is very simple, yet the dish turns out delicious, tender, and juicy. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
