Old-Fashioned Apple Cider & Cake in a Wood-Fired Oven

A quiet autumn day in a rustic village home 🍎 Fresh apple juice, naturally fermented cider, warm pie from the wood-fired oven, and candlelight in the evening. In this peaceful story of traditional countryside living, she carefully washes the apples from the harvest and presses them into fresh juice using a wooden barrel and cloth press. Part of the juice is gently warmed on the stove, filling the house with a sweet apple aroma, while another part continues its slow transformation into cider — already fermented a few days earlier.
