Apple cheese (Lithuanian: Obuolių sūris,Polish: Ser Jabłkowy/Ser Jabłeczny) is a traditional Lithuanian[1][2] and Polish[citation needed] dessert, made out of boiled or cooked apples sweetened with sugar. 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 (polish Radziwiłł).[4]
In 1907, the recipe for apple cheese was published in the Lithuanian magazine Lietuvos virėja from Lithuania's capital Vilnius.[5]
