Poutine à trou

Poutine à Trou - a Canadian apple cookie from New Brunswick - has nothing in common with poutine as we know it!

Poutine à Trou is a small pie with a hole on the top, which is characterized by its delicious filling, consisting of apples, raisins and cranberries, or alternatively nuts.

After baking, brown sugar syrup is poured through the hole.

This dessert can be served wonderfully both hot and cold.
