The apple focaccia is a Genovese specialty, which is prepared simply with thin slices of apples, raisins, pine nuts, and the characteristic cheese of that area, whose name is difficult to pronounce, “prescinseua”.

It is cow’s milk curd, and it is rather easy to make at home and quite unavailable outside its production area.

It is a simple cheese, with a soft paste tending to a fluid consistency and with a slightly lumpy but homogeneous texture; the slightly acidic flavor recalls that of yogurt or sour cream.

In fact, in this recipe, since I was not able to find the “prescinseua” here in Philadelphia, I used sour cream.

And I assure you that the result was excellent. I learned this recipe last night watching an Italian cooking channel. And I wanted to try it and so voila I prepared it, very good, a blockbuster.
