This cake I baked for 23 February for more than 25 years. On the men's holiday baking a cake –too sweet, but sweet tart-just right. In the first years of marriage the traditional filling is not yet established, but with the first move for her husband –an officer happened by itself. I Alma atinka, who grew up practically in the country surrounded by Apple trees. Apples are my favorite fruits even now, when abundance of fruit. And left the beloved city of her husband first in Semipalatinsk, and there are cranberries growing in the forests around the city. And later service we carried in the edges of the rich cranberries. And, over the years pie has become a brand and family. Could change the shape of the cake, decorations and cooking the toppings. But remained unchanged pastry, milk, egg yolks and margarine –festive, from grandmother's older sister. And filling-apples, cranberries and sugar. Simple and amazingly tasty and harmonious. Husband is retired, but the eldest son had already received senior Lieutenant, and the average before the New year came back from military service as a Junior Sergeant. Of course - a holiday of real men said warmly. And the cake came out great and delicious.
