However, I always want to surprise my friends and acquaintances with something more than just a simple apple sponge cake. In that case, I suggest making an exquisite royal charlotte.

This dessert differs from the traditional charlotte in its composition because it contains nuts. The pastry consists of a thick layer of airy sponge cake and a rich filling of juicy apples and walnuts.

This rich and sophisticated version of charlotte is irresistible! It's both filling and beautiful.

Add the dry ingredients to the egg-sugar mixture and knead the dough.

Step 5

Place the apples in the pan. Pour the batter over the fruit.

Step 6

Finely chop the walnuts and sprinkle them over the pie.

Step 7

Place the charlotte in a preheated oven. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 30–35 minutes.

Step 8

Let the charlotte cool slightly. Dust the finished product with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
