Adviсe

Be sure to sift the flour so that the dough is saturated with oxygen and rises during baking.
Add slightly warm water to the dough.
Instead of vegetable oil, you can use coconut oil to give the dough a pleasant aroma.
To enhance the pie's flavor, add vanilla extract, flaked almonds, cinnamon, coriander, and other spices to the dough. It's best to stick to just one to avoid ruining the charlotte.
You can blanch the apples in a frying pan with sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice beforehand to make them softer.

Why does the pie burn on the outside but remain raw on the inside?

There are several reasons for this problem during baking.

The pie was placed in a cold oven. To ensure the charlotte bakes evenly and is golden brown on top, place it in a preheated oven.
The baking sheet is too low. Place the pie in the oven on the middle rack without convection. You can turn on convection for a couple of minutes at the end to ensure a nice golden brown.
The temperature setting wasn't met. It's absolutely essential to stick to the temperature specified in the recipe. Thinking that the pie will bake faster by increasing the temperature is very risky.

Ultimately, a burnt or underbaked pie may be due to a faulty oven.

Apple Charlotte is a unique homemade pie that can be made for any occasion. Don't miss the opportunity to treat your family and friends to this delicious pastry, even during Lent.
