To make the apple charlotte aromatic, add a little vanilla, lemon zest, or coconut flakes. For a more interesting and piquant result, I recommend using cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. These spices should be added sparingly to avoid overpowering the dessert's flavor.

If ready pie If you find the sauce not sweet enough, feel free to adjust the amount of stevia. You can also use other sweeteners, such as honey, erythritol, maple syrup, or agave nectar. You can also use regular granulated sugar if desired. However, keep in mind that this will increase the calorie content of the dish.

Stevia

1 tbsp
Vanillin

10 G
Corn flour

180 G
Soda

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the baking pan. Grease the sides with vegetable oil and sprinkle the top with cornmeal. Line the bottom with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the finished dessert from the pan.

Step 2

Peel and core two apples and cut them into small pieces. Wash and core two more apples (the peel can be left on) and cut them into thin slices. These will be used to decorate the charlotte.

Step 3

Crack three eggs into a deep bowl and add a pinch of salt, stevia, and vanilla. Beat until fluffy and white.

Step 4

Add sour cream to the egg mixture and beat again with a mixer. Once the sour cream is incorporated into the dough, add the vegetable oil and mix everything together.

Step 5

Mix the corn flour with the baking soda, sift it through a sieve, and add it to the prepared mixture. Stir.

Step 6

Pour some of the batter into the pan and layer the peeled apples on top. Then add more batter and a layer of apples. Repeat this process until you run out of ingredients. Top the pie with thin slices of peeled apples. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30-40 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the charlotte from the oven and let it cool. Then transfer it to a serving dish and enjoy your tea!

How to check if a pie is ready?

Apple pie takes an average of 40 minutes to bake in the oven. To ensure proper rise, place it in a preheated oven and never open the door during baking. To check if the pie is done, use a toothpick or wooden skewer.

It's very, very easy to do. Just insert a skewer into the finished dessert and slowly pull it out. If the skewer comes out easily and there's no raw dough residue on it, the pie is fully baked and ready to serve. Just don't rush to cut the dessert right away. Let it cool for 10 minutes before shaping it into portions.
