LET’S COOK LITHUANIAN
\nwith Dana Sili\u016bnas.<\/p>\n
An apple a day…<\/strong><\/p>\n Apples (or obuoliai, if you prefer) have always been a favorite in Lithuanian cooking, especially this time of year. They were plentiful in everyone\u2019s back yard and were easily stored over the winter.<\/p>\n SPICED PORK AND APPLES<\/strong> 1\/3 lb. boneless pork tenderloin Cut pork across grain into very thin slices. Blend spices and sprinkle over pork; set aside. Blend apple juice, soy sauce, vinegar and cornstarch in small bowl; set aside. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, stirring constantly, 4 minutes or until browned. Remove pork from skillet. Add apple to skillet; stir and cook until apple is lightly brown. Return pork to skillet; add apple juice mixture and cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened. Serve over rice. Makes 2 servings.<\/p>\n APPLE CHEESE<\/strong> 5 lbs. apples, peeled and thinly sliced Mix apples with sugar and let rest 48 hours, until juice is formed. Pour off juice into a preserving pot, cook on low heat until half of juice has evaporated in cooking, and remaing juice darkens and thickens. Add 3\/4 of apple slices and cook stirring constantly until apple mass is quite thick and no juice remains, about 1 hour. Add remaining apple slices, cinnamon and cook until last addition of apples is soft and light color, giving the cheese a marbled effect. Pour apple mass into a damp cheese bag, tie and place between two boards and weigh down for two days. Hang cheese in airy spot to dry. Store in a cool but dry place. This is a Lithuanian delicacy served with wine, coffee and tea.<\/p>\n APPLE CAKE<\/strong> 4 eggs Beat eggs and sugar until light; add oil, then the remaining ingredients. Fold in apples and nuts last. Pour batter into a greased 9\u201d x 13\u201d pan.

Drizzle over warm cake.<\/p>\n APPLE RAISIN DESSERT CAKE<\/strong> 2 1\/2 oz. butter Melt butter, add egg, sugar, almond essence, and then fold in flour and baking powder. Spread half mixture in tin, arrange apple slices over, sprinkle raisins over, then spread remaining mixture over. Bake at 350\u00b0 1 to IV4 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar when cold.<\/p>\n APPLE SQUARES<\/strong> 1 cup sugar Grease 9\u201d x 13\u201d pan. Preheat oven to 350\u00b0. Beat together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
