Preparation

Step 1

Beat the softened butter with a mixer until light and airy.

Step 2

Add sugar to the butter and beat.

Step 3

Add sour cream, egg, vanilla, baking powder to the butter and sugar and mix everything well.

Step 4

Add flour sifted through a sieve to the mixture. This is important for a more airy pie. Mix everything thoroughly until the dough is smooth.

Step 5

Wash, peel, and core the apple. Cut it into small pieces and mix with cinnamon.

Step 6

Prepare the custard. Mix the egg and sugar and beat with a mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 7

Add cornstarch, vanilla, and milk to the mixture. Beat until smooth. Place on the stove over low heat and simmer until thickened. It's important to stir the cream to prevent it from burning.

Step 8

Remove the cream from the heat. Add the butter and mix everything together with a mixer. The butter changes the texture of the cream, making it glossier and silkier.

Step 9

Line the bottom of a baking pan with parchment paper and grease it with oil. Spread the first half of the batter evenly over the bottom. Pour the remaining batter over the apples.

Step 10

Fill a pastry bag with custard and use it to decorate the top of the pie.

Step 11

Bake the pie at 180°C for 30-35 minutes. Once baked, the pie is ready!

Answers to frequently asked questions

How can I make sure that the charlotte cake easily separates from the sides of the pan?

To prevent the pie from burning and to ensure it comes off easily from the bottom and sides of the pan, grease them with butter and sprinkle a little flour on top. You can also use parchment paper greased with vegetable oil.

What can I replace baking powder with?

Baking powder can be easily replaced with soda quenched with vinegar or lemon juice.

How long can a finished pie be stored?

The finished pie retains its original flavor during the first 24 hours of cooking. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. After that, there's a risk that the charlotte will go sour.
