Making this charlotte requires minimal time and ingredients. It's made in just one hour using apples, sugar, eggs, raisins, and flour. The best part is that slicing the fruit and preparing the dough takes no more than 20 minutes, and the rest of the time, the pie is baked in the oven.

Apple charlotte has a unique aroma and flavor. Its soft, tender dough pairs perfectly with slightly tart apples. The raisins make this combination even more interesting and delicious.

Ingredients

Servings

Egg C1

3 pcs
Sugar

60 G
Flour

120 G
Baking powder

2 tsp
Butter

80 G
Apples

5 pcs
Raisin

100 G

Preparation

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a deep, clean bowl. Add the sugar and beat with a mixer at high speed until thick and pale. Beating the eggs will ensure the fluffiness of the pie, so it's important to ensure the mixture rises well.

Step 2

Mix the flour with the baking powder. Sift everything through a sieve to remove lumps. Add to the egg-sugar mixture and stir.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a double boiler or microwave. Then add the dough and stir. This will make the finished pie softer.

Step 4

Wash the apples, peel and core them. Cut them into medium-sized pieces. To prevent them from browning, you can sprinkle them with lemon juice.

Step 5

Add raisins to the apples and mix everything well.

Step 6

Combine the apples and raisins with the pie dough and mix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30-35 minutes. Then remove the charlotte from the oven, cool to room temperature, and serve.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Why didn't the pie rise?

There could be several reasons for this. First, you didn't beat the eggs properly. They weren't aerated enough, and the batter didn't rise. Second, the oven door was opened while the charlotte was baking. The sudden temperature change could have caused the pie to sink and not rise again.

How to prepare a baking pan?

This can be done very simply. Grease the baking pan with butter and sprinkle flour or semolina on top. This will prevent the charlotte from sticking to the sides of the pan and will make it easy to remove. You can also use parchment paper to prevent the pie from burning.

How to check if charlotte is ready?

To do this, take a wooden skewer and pierce the pie with it. The skewer should come out clean, with no raw dough residue. A toothpick can be used instead of a skewer.
