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]
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]
