Glen and Oscar are in Belyov, a small Russian town founded in the 12th century that’s been famous for its orchards for centuries. Oscar offers an apple to Glen, who says he’d rather have some apple pie and coffee. Oscar promises a fabulous apple dessert called pastila and the friends set off in search of two of the main ingredients: apples and eggs. But there’s a catch!

First stop is an orchard once owned by Amvrosiy Prokhorov, a merchant whose estate is credited with inventing pastila in the 19th century. The confectionary creation proved so popular it was soon being served to the royalty of Russia and Europe. Next stop is a modern apple storage facility, where the pair learns how apples can be kept fresh for a whole year. Then on to a farm where mayhem rules as Glen falls for one of Oscar’s pranks. At last, to see how pastila is made, they head to the Belyovsky factory, the most famous manufacturer of this classic sweet.

This confectioner stays true to the original recipe, using only three natural ingredients: apple puree, egg whites, and sugar. While helping the process along, Glen and Oscar find out about pastila’s cousin, zephyr, a kind of mini apple soufflé that was immensely popular during the Soviet Era. Oscar is hit by a touch of nostalgia talking about his favourite childhood sweets, and soon the friends are stealing a taste of every product they can get their hands on…. until, that is, they are busted by the factory’s director.
