Preparation

Step 1

In the eggs, separate the yolks from the whites.

Add the sugar substitute to the yolks and beat until smooth, about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Beat the chilled egg whites with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 4

Add the whipped egg whites to the yolk mixture and carefully mix everything with a spatula until completely combined.

Step 5

Pour in finely ground coconut flakes and sifted almond flour.

Step 6

Add melted coconut oil for elasticity. You can substitute butter.

Knead the dough. It will be textured and thick, like sour cream. If the dough is too thick, add a tablespoon of water or, better yet, coconut milk.

Step 8

Peel the apples, core them, and cut them into small cubes. Add them to the batter and mix well.

Step 9

Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Spread the dough over the top, smoothing the surface. Bake for 40–45 minutes at 180°C.

Almond flour charlotte is a great solution if you want to enjoy the unique flavor of your favorite pie without worrying about your figure. Food blogger Masha will show you how to make this classic pie with a dietary twist on her YouTube channel, "LCHF Kitchen." She explains the step-by-step process of making a simple charlotte using the LCHF system—a special dietary plan that minimizes carbohydrates and replaces them with more fat, protein, and fiber.

How to make almond flour yourself

The major drawback of almond flour is that it's quite expensive, so not everyone can afford it. However, making almond flour at home is quite simple.

Take the almonds and pour boiling water over them for literally 10-15 minutes.
Peel the almonds and dry them thoroughly in a frying pan or oven. Be careful not to burn the almonds, otherwise the flour will have a bitter taste.
Cool the nuts and grind them in a blender or coffee grinder into fine crumbs.

Be very careful during the final step. Start beating the nuts at high speed, but gradually reduce the speed. Finally, try to break up any large pieces in several batches. Don't let the nuts get so thick that the oil starts to separate.

Design and submission

The easiest and most beautiful way to decorate a homemade charlotte is to dust it with powdered sugar. Of course, for a diet version, it's best to use powdered sugar made with erythritol or another sweetener.

Before icing, let the cake cool thoroughly to prevent the powder from melting and turning into a sticky icing. Sift the powder through a sieve.

Unlike the classic version, the almond charlotte's flavor is best revealed after it's completely cooled. Therefore, I recommend making the pie the night before, and it will be absolutely delicious in the morning.

You can always substitute almond flour for wheat flour, or use other low-calorie and more affordable flours like rice, oatmeal, or rye. But be sure to try this version of a diet charlotte cake—it's a delight!
