Charlotte is a sweet pie made from apples baked in dough. Sometimes apples are replaced with other fruits or berries. An important difference between this dessert and other types of baked goods is its high cooking speed, availability of ingredients and ease of preparation.
It is necessary
- - 3-5 apples;
- - 3 eggs;
- - 1 cup of sugar;
- - 1 glass of flour;
- - icing sugar;
- - mixer;
- - a baking dish or baking sheet.
Instructions
Step 1
Beat three eggs. In this case, it is not necessary to separate the whites from the yolks. Add sugar without stopping whisking. Beat until creamy. Add flour and continue beating the dough until stringy. The dough should become more and more light.
Step 2
Optionally add a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon to the mixture. If you're used to baking with baking powder or vinegar-slaked baking soda, keep this tradition.
Step 3
If you want the charlotte to have a crispy crust, core the apples, cut them into thin slices and place them on the bottom of the mold. Fill them with dough. Leave it on for a while to fill the voids between the apple pieces. You can also lay the apples neatly on top of the dough and lightly sprinkle with sugar. In this case, there will be no crispness.
Step 4
For people who care about their figure, we can advise you to reduce the calorie content of charlotte. To do this, you must use a silicone baking dish that does not need to be oiled.
Step 5
For a large charlotte, use a baking sheet and double the amount of the ingredients. Pour the dough into a baking sheet and line the apple slices along the long side of the tin.
Step 6
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180-200 ° C for 35 minutes. To check if the pie is ready, pierce it with a toothpick. If after you take it out, it turns out to be dry and without dough, the charlotte is ready. Let the charlotte cool, then you can sprinkle it with powdered sugar or cinnamon mixed with sugar.
