I think I would be tempted to put whipped cream on top.

Since it's a Russian recipe, it would be fun to make it with Duchess of Oldenburg apples if you could find them at a local orchard or farm market (or if you grow them). Despite the German-sounding name, this apple was bred in Russia around 1700, and is also a tart apple very good for cooking. Granny Smith would be a good substitute, though.
