It is necessary
-
- large sour apples - 5 pcs.;
- cinnamon - 1 tsp (optional);
- eggs - 5 pcs.;
- sugar - 1 tbsp.;
- flour - 1 tbsp.;
- vanilla sugar - 1 tsp;
- butter for greasing the mold;

Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180 ° C. This must be done at the beginning of the cooking process, as it should warm up well, and the filling and biscuit dough are made very quickly. If the oven is not preheated enough, your cake may not bake, even if it is golden brown.
Step 2
Apples must be washed and peeled. Cut each of them into not too large plates or cubes. Sprinkle the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 3
Prepare a baking pan. It can serve as a form for cakes, and pans only without plastic parts. So that it can be placed in the oven. Lubricate it with oil.
Step 4
Sprinkle breadcrumbs on the bottom and sides of the pan.
Step 5
Place the apples in the mold. In order for the cake to look neat, some housewives deliberately lay them out in concentric circles, but this is not necessary. You can simply pour the apples onto the bottom in an even layer. Sprinkle them with your favorite spices.
Step 6
It's time to make the biscuit. Separate the whites from the yolks and beat the whites with a mixer, gradually adding sugar, vanillin and flour to them. Beat in the yolks last and beat the dough again. This cake will be fluffy and will not settle when baked.
Step 7
Pour the dough on top of the apples and place the mold in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes. The baking time depends on your oven.
Step 8
After removing the cake from the oven, let it cool slightly, sprinkle with powdered sugar on top. Charlotte is served warm, as an independent dish, and as a dessert with ice cream or tea.
Bon Appetit!
