Frozen apple pie tastes virtually identical to its classic counterpart, making it easy to make in winter when you don't feel like going to the store for fresh fruit. Defrost apples before preparing dessert it is not at all necessary.

This delicacy can be baked in two variations: with frozen or thawed fruit pieces. The difference in taste is imperceptible, and the dessert differs only in consistency. Thawed apples result in a more watery pie, while frozen fruit results in a denser, fluffier pie.

Ingredients

Servings

Egg C1

5 pcs
Sugar

230 G
Flour

300 G
Frozen apples

500 G
Vanilla sugar

10 G
Butter

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the baking pan. Grease it with butter to ensure the finished dessert releases easily from the bottom and sides after baking.

Step 2

Pour the frozen apples into the pan and sprinkle them with vanilla sugar on top.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a deep bowl and add the sugar. Beat with a mixer at high speed until fluffy. It's important for the mixture to turn white and double in volume. This will ensure the pie turns out fluffy.

Step 4

Sift the flour through a sieve to remove all lumps. Add it to the egg-sugar mixture and stir.

Step 5

Pour the dough over the apples and smooth it out.

Step 6

Place the pie in an oven preheated to 180 degrees to bake for 35-40 minutes.

Step 7

After baking, turn off the oven and let the pie rest for 15 minutes. This is to prevent the pie from collapsing due to the sudden temperature change. Then remove it, cool to room temperature, and cut into portions.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Why does the charlotte cake burn on the outside but not bake through on the inside?

This can happen if the baking temperature is set too high. If your dessert is burning but not baked through, simply reduce the baking temperature and be sure to preheat the oven. This will ensure your pie turns out perfectly baked and fluffy.

Which apples are best to use for charlotte?

Charlotte pie can be made with absolutely any apples. The main thing is to cut them before freezing. However, if you want a perfectly flavored pie, I recommend freezing fruits with a distinctly tart flavor.

Why doesn't the pie turn out fluffy?

The main reason for this is underbeaten eggs. If you're unsure how to do this, simply add a little baking powder or baking soda mixed with vinegar to the dough.
