Ingredients

Servings

Apple

4 pcs
Egg C1

5 pcs
Flour

200 G
Sugar

100 G
Vanilla sugar

10 G
Baking powder

1 tsp
Salt

1 pinch

Preparation

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the sugar. Beat thoroughly until the mixture rises in volume. This will make the finished pie fluffier.

Step 2

Add all dry ingredients to the resulting mixture. Stir until smooth. Add the flour in small portions through a sieve to avoid lumps in the finished dough.

Step 3

Set the dough aside to rest. Meanwhile, prepare the apples. Wash them and cut them into medium-sized pieces.

Step 4

Pour 1/3 of the finished dough into the pan so that it completely covers the bottom.

Step 5

Place all the apples on top of the dough.

Step 6

Pour the remaining dough over everything, distributing it evenly.

Step 7

We put the charlotte in the oven, preheated to 180 °C for approximately 30-40 minutes. Avoid opening the oven door during baking, as this may cause the finished cake to sink.

Step 8

We take the charlotte out of the oven and decorate it with powdered sugar.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Which apples are best to use for charlotte?

The sponge cake for the charlotte should be sweet and airy, and the apples should be slightly tart. Choose green varieties with firm flesh. Antonovka, Ranet, and Simirenko apples are ideal.

How to diversify the taste of a pie?

The flavor of apple charlotte can be easily changed by adding cinnamon, candied fruit, raisins, and various berries.

Do you need to peel apples?

In this recipe, I didn't peel the apples. However, if you don't like the peel in the finished dish, you can easily peel it. This won't affect the texture of the finished pie, but it will make it more delicate.

Can sugar be replaced with another ingredient?

Since sugar is quite high in calories, people watching their weight and diet are asking this question. Sugar is easily replaced with healthier and lower-calorie ingredients. Honey, maple syrup, molasses, or stevia can be used instead.

Advice

To prevent the pie from burning or sticking to the sides, choose silicone pans. If you don't have one on hand, don't despair. Grease a regular pan with butter and sprinkle some flour on top. This will help the dough stick to the flour during baking and release easily from the sides.

Apple pie is a brilliant dessert, where sweet, airy pastry pairs beautifully with a slightly tart, soft apple. It's sure to delight you not only in the summer, but also on cool winter evenings when you crave something delicious. Try this recipe and enjoy the results!
