Tufahija is the Bosnian Ottoman dessert of an apple poached in sugar syrup, cored and stuffed with walnut paste, and served with whipped cream and a glass of cold water.
Tufahija (from Turkish 'tuffahiye', from the Arabic 'tuffah' meaning apple) arrived through Ottoman court cuisine and adapted to Bosnian highland apples and walnuts. Slasticarna Egipat on Ferhadija and Inat Kuca both work the canonical Sarajevo version, with the apple poached gently in lemon-sugar syrup and the walnut filling whipped with butter and a hint of cinnamon as the Sarajevo signature finish.
