0.5 tsp
Soy yogurt

150 G
Cane sugar

100 G
Vanilla sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the apples. Wash, core, and cut into small pieces.

Step 2

Place the apples in a clean bowl, sprinkle them with lemon juice and stir to prevent them from browning.

Step 3

Rinse the raisins in cold water. Remove them from the water and dry them with a paper towel or napkins.

Step 4

Combine the raisins with the apples and stir. The pie filling is ready.

Step 5

Crack the eggs into a deep bowl. Add a pinch of salt and all the sugar. Beat for at least 5 minutes until fluffy and light. The fluffier the mixture, the airier the finished charlotte will be.

Step 6

Add soy yogurt, cinnamon, and vanilla sugar to the mixture. Beat everything with a mixer until smooth.

Step 7

Using a sieve, add the baking powder and flour to the mixture. Mix until a thick, dense dough forms.

Step 8

Add the apple and raisin filling to the dough and mix everything well.

Step 9

Prepare the baking pan. Grease the bottom and sides with a small amount of butter. Next, glue parchment paper onto the butter. This will prevent the charlotte from sticking and will release easily from the sides.

Step 10

Place the dough into the pan and smooth it out carefully.

Step 11

Take an apple, wash it, and core it. Then cut it into thin slices.

Step 12

Decorate the pie. Arrange the apple slices in a circle, overlapping each one slightly. It's important to press the apple slices lightly into the dough.

Step 13

Sprinkle the top of the pie with a small amount of cane sugar. This will help create a caramelized crust.

Step 14

Bake the pie in an unheated oven at 180°C for 50 minutes. After baking, let it cool. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Which apples are best to use for charlotte?

The best choice for making a delicious pie are green apple varieties such as Antonovka, Ranet, and Simirenko. Their distinct tartness perfectly complements the sweetness of the pastry.

What can I substitute for sugar in the recipe?

Sugar can easily be replaced with healthier, lower-calorie ingredients. Stevia, maple syrup, or honey are all excellent choices. If the honey is crystallized, melt it first before adding it to the dish.

How to enhance the taste of the pie?

When preparing the charlotte, you can add cardamom, nutmeg, or vanilla to the dough. This will enhance the aroma and add a more unique flavor. A pinch of ginger will add a subtle piquancy, and finely grated lemon zest will round out the taste.

Is it possible to make Charlotte without gluten and eggs?

Yes, but in this case, you'll need to add baking powder or baking soda mixed with lemon juice or vinegar to the recipe. This will make the baked goods airy.

Apple charlotte is the perfect complement to any holiday dinner. It's delicious served hot or cold. Cook deliciously and delight your loved ones with new, delicious dishes. Enjoy!
