Semolina gives the baked goods a grainy texture, while kefir provides a creamy, curdled flavor. The tartness of the apples creates a unique flavor harmony, making charlotte so popular.

The classic recipe for this dessert was created by German chefs in the 19th century. It was inspired by the then-popular English pudding. Since then, the recipe has changed several times, and today, charlotte is traditionally made with sponge or unleavened pastry. However, it is always baked with a filling.

Design and submission

Apple charlotte is a ready-made dish in itself. It is served individually for each person. A slice of pie, dusted with powdered sugar, is placed on a plate and offered to guests along with hot drinks such as tea or coffee. Juice, compote, or a glass of cold milk can be offered instead.

This delicious pastry can be served with a scoop of creamy ice cream. You can also drizzle it with condensed milk or another topping. This option is sure to please those who enjoy very sweet desserts.

To decorate the charlotte, I recommend using powdered sugar, lemon zest, or coconut flakes. If you're looking to create a truly beautiful dessert for a holiday table, you should decorate it with meringue or whipped cream. They perfectly complement the flavor of the baked goods, making them more interesting and appealing.
