Ingredients

Servings

Flour

1 cup
Sugar

0.5 glasses
Egg C1

3 pcs
Sunflower oil

75 ml
Apples

350 G
Vanilla sugar

15 G
Soda

1 tsp
Vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Wash the apples under running water. Dry them. Remove the core and cut into small cubes. For the charlotte, choose ripe, fragrant apples. Peel the skin if it's tough.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a deep bowl, add the sugar and vanilla sugar. Beat with a mixer on high speed until the mixture turns pale and doubles in volume. For a fluffy and airy charlotte, take 10-15 minutes to beat.

Step 3

Once the egg mixture is well-beaten, sift the flour and add the sunflower oil. You can substitute any vegetable oil you like, such as olive oil, but make sure it's refined and doesn't have a strong odor.

Step 4

Dissolve the baking soda in vinegar and pour it into the mixture. Mix everything with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. The addition of the dissolved baking soda will help the baked goods rise better, resulting in fluffier and airier baked goods.

Step 5

Add chopped apples to the dough, gently stir the mixture so that the apples are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Grease a baking pan with sunflower oil or butter and line it with the dough. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20-30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.

Step 7

Remove the charlotte from the pan, let it cool at room temperature, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve. Enjoy!
