Tufahije, Bosnian Poached Stuffed Apples

If you crave some Bosnian cuisine, and you are in Sarajevo,  be sure to visit one of the small local restaurants. It is the best way to enjoy a quick, delicious meal.

One of my favourite Bosnian desserts are tufahije. Tufahije (singular: tufahija) is made of walnut and almond-stuffed apples stewed in water with lemon sugar, usually topped with whipped cream, and is very popular in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Tufahije were introduced to the people in Balkans during the Ottoman rule, although the dessert originates from Persia.  It is very sweet, as many bosnian desserts are.
