About the dish

Tufahija is a dessert made from apples which are stewed in water and sugar, stuffed with an almond or walnut cream filling, then shortly baked and doused in sugar syrup. The origin of the dessert is Persian - it came to Bosnia with the Ottomans who ruled the country in the past. This refreshing treat is traditionally consumed chilled, served in a large glass, and garnished with whipped cream and a cherry on top.
