Tufahije

Also known as: Tufahija

Whole poached apples with a milk-and-walnut filling, sugar syrup and whipped cream.

About Tufahije

Tufahije are walnut-filled apples in syrup, a familiar Bosnian dessert also known elsewhere in the Balkans. Aida's Bosnian rendition features whole Granny Smith apples with whipped cream and a walnut half on top.

The apples have a gentle tartness against the sweet lemon-and-vanilla syrup. Ground walnuts, milk and butter give the filling a rich, soft character, with cinnamon offered as a winter addition.

The cooled apples retain their rounded shape in individual dessert bowls. Syrup surrounds the fruit, while whipped cream and walnut provide the finishing contrast.
