Bread charlotte with apricots and apples
This recipe is suitable for those who do not want to mess with the dough. Instead of the usual dough, ordinary white bread is used here.
You will need:
- 150 grams of dried apricots;
- 150 ml of water;
- 150 grams of sugar;
- 1, 2 kg of apples;
- a teaspoon of ground cinnamon;
- 16 slices of bread;
- 100 grams of butter;
- 100 grams of apricot jam or jam.
Put the oven to preheat to 180 degrees. Grease a baking sheet about 20 cm in diameter with oil.
Rinse dried apricots in hot water, place them in a saucepan, add about 70 grams of sugar, fill everything with water and put on fire. Once the sugar grains are dissolved, add the slices of pre-peeled apples to the syrup and continue to cook until the apples are tender.
Mix the cinnamon with the remaining sugar. Cut the crust off the toast bread, brush the crumb with butter, sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Line the bottom of the mold with bread (each slice should overlap), as well as the sides. Fill the resulting "bread bowl" with the apricot-apple mass and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
After the time has elapsed, remove the cake from the oven, brush its top with apricot jam and place in the oven for another five minutes.
