Preparation

Step 1

Wash and peel the apples thoroughly. Cut them into small wedges. To prevent them from browning, add a little lemon juice.

Step 2

For added flavor and aroma, sprinkle the apples with cinnamon. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a clean bowl, add the sugar and vanilla sugar, and beat until fluffy and white. This will ensure the pie is light and fluffy.

Step 4

Gradually add flour to the beaten eggs, a little at a time. Sift the flour through a sieve to remove any lumps. Gently stir with a spatula to prevent the dough from settling.

Step 5

Grease the pan with oil and line it with parchment paper.

Step 6

Form the charlotte. First, spread a thin layer of dough so that it covers the entire bottom.

Step 7

Place a layer of apples on top of the dough. Cover them with a little dough and then add more apples. Repeat this process for several layers.

Step 8

Bake the charlotte in a preheated oven at 170°C for 1 hour. You can check the cake's doneness with a skewer. To do this, pierce the dessert and check the skewer; it should come out easily and be dry.

Step 9

We take the pie out of the oven, let it cool slightly and sprinkle it with powdered sugar on top.
