Baking with apple filling is delicious, aromatic and tasty with any type of dough, be it puff pastry like in, shortbread like in, or even requiring no kneading at all like in. In each case, the pieces of fruit are successfully softened, remain juicy and are imbued with the familiar cinnamon aroma.
Today we will add to the collection of simple pastries - we are preparing an attractive grated pie with apples. We add a small amount of sour cream to the shortbread dough for softness, a more delicate texture and a pleasant rich taste. Divide the resulting mass into two parts, forming one into a base cake, and rubbing the second onto the surface of the product.

This apple pie will outshine all the delicious, charming, amazing and extraordinary options you have already tried because it is pure perfection. And, by the way, we’re not just talking about a perfectly balanced taste, although, of course, it’s about that too. An important role in evaluating this recipe is played by the fact that preparing it is as easy as shelling pears.
Perhaps a more primitive version of baking with apples cannot be found: all you need is to grate the fruit, prepare a dry mixture and arrange everything in layers. Thanks to the cooking technology, this pie is popularly called “dry” or bulk. Thanks to the same technology, the resulting baked goods are more like a cake: thin layers, apple “cream.” By the way, sometimes the recipe is written just like that - “dry” or bulk cake.
Another plus is the relatively low calorie content of bulk apple pie. Of course, if you compare a piece of such a dessert with a portion of sauerkraut salad, you can exclaim indignantly: “This is a waist killer, not a pie!” However, put a bulk cake on the table, and next to it a thin slice of “Prazhsky” - and make a smart choice .
Apple pies come in different varieties – primitive and elaborate, simple and multi-ingredient, homemade and special. And they can also be richly apple-y, amazingly bulky, easy to prepare, amazingly tasty - such as the “dry” apple pie offered to your attention.
The recipe will be of interest to those who, for one reason or another, do not use eggs in baking.
The diameter of the baking dish is 26 cm.
Any apple will do, however, through repeated experiments you will be able to make your choice, understanding which variety is right for you. Some people like sour fruits, others prefer sweet fruits, and still others are satisfied with juicy winter apples with a neutral taste.
So, we choose the appropriate ones and wash them. How long will it take, half a minute? Take a bowl of sufficient size and pour a glass of semolina into it. It’s easy and convenient - you don’t need to sift, or look for scales, or think about how to convert cups, grams, and grams into milliliters. I simply filled the glass and poured it into a bowl. All. Not even thirty seconds.
Pour a glass of sugar into the same bowl. Just as easy and fast. Another ten seconds.
Flour: fill a glass - pour into a bowl. Half a minute. Sifting is not at all necessary, although, of course, if you really want to, you can spend time on it. Or you don’t have to spend it.
Add salt, baking powder, and vanillin to the same bowl. If desired, the baking powder can be replaced with a small amount of baking soda.
Mix - without a mixer, food processor and dirty hands, which then need to be washed off the sticky dough. Again, no more than 20 seconds - and the “dough” is ready.
The most time-consuming part of the job is peeling the apples. You can involve brutal male hands in resolving the issue or exploit child labor - the process, of course, in such cases may take a little longer (the apples will darken accordingly), but to make your own kitchen life easier, this option of joint creativity is considered quite acceptable. However, even if you tackle the task yourself, you will have to spend no more than 5-6 minutes.
Grate the peeled fruits on a coarse grater. A couple more minutes if you do it by hand, and only about twenty seconds if you get out the food processor.
Grease the baking dish with butter; the bottom can be lined with baking paper to make it easier to further remove and transfer the finished pie to a dish. Half a minute maximum.
Pour about a third of the dry mass into an even layer onto the bottom of the mold. You can move the pan back and forth so that the “dough” is distributed evenly.
Spread half the apple mixture. Be careful not to move the first, dry “cake”. Lightly compact the apples with your fingers. Minute.
Take the butter out of the freezer and rub about a third of it over the apples. If the oil is not ice-cold, more of it will “go away”: the freezer guarantees economical use of the product.
Sprinkle with a third of the dry mass. Move the mold back and forth so that everything is evenly distributed.
Apples again - the remaining half. Press with your fingers - not too much, just so that the surface of the pie is even.
Oil again - about a third. By the way, it’s better to rub it right above the cake, this will help distribute it more evenly over the surface. Of course, placing the grater on a plate or board, and only then transferring the product onto the pie, is more convenient, but not economical: the butter will stick together during the grating process, and you will not be able to distribute it as you would if you work on the form by weight.
Distribute the remaining dry mixture. You can smooth it out with a spoon.
Rub the remaining butter - also over the mold. If you don't care about how your waist feels, you can use a little more butter - it will give the finished pie a nice crispy crust.
That's it for your efforts to make a bulk apple pie. How much did it cost in total? Five minutes, seven, ten? Well, obviously no more. As a result, in a minimum amount of time you have prepared an incredibly delicious dessert. Oh, yes, it hasn’t been cooked yet - put it in a preheated oven, temperature 180 degrees, about 40 minutes.
Don’t take off the uniform right away - all the beauty will fall apart.
Of course, this will not affect the taste, but the pie will have to be served in the form of an unclear crumble. If you prefer a warm, perfect-looking apple pie, simply reheat the cooled pie in the microwave.
If desired, apple pastries can be decorated with ganache made from white chocolate (1 bar + 50-70 ml of cream). The finished mass will look somewhat similar to condensed milk, but the taste will be much, much more interesting, nobler, more refined. Bon appetit!

Regular yeast or shortbread pies are not to everyone's taste. Some people prefer lighter and juicier desserts, with a lot of filling and a minimum of dough. One of these is charlotte with grated apples. Therefore, we want to present to your attention this wonderful recipe.
Apple charlotte is prepared completely without eggs, thanks to which the dessert simply melts in your mouth. The recipe is specially designed to make the baked goods very tender. Grated apples bake quickly, become absolutely soft and combine well with the dough, so our recipe will appeal to even the most picky sweet tooth who doesn’t like pieces of fruit in baked goods. Prepare charlotte with grated apples, and the list of your favorite desserts is guaranteed to grow!
Step #1. First you need to take care of the filling for our charlotte. It is done very simply, which is why preparing the pie itself according to our recipe will take quite a bit of time. Choose apples for charlotte responsibly. Pay attention to sweet and sour or sour fruits, because they are always juicier and go better with dry dough.
Once you have decided on the apples, proceed to preparing them: thoroughly wash the fruits under running water and dry them with a kitchen towel.
Step #2. Now remove the cores with seeds from the fruits, and then peel the apples, because in sour fruits it is usually very rough.
Fully peeled fruits will make our charlotte deliciously tender, so don’t lose sight of this important point in preparing the dessert. The recipe is intended to be followed unconditionally. Only by following all the steps can you achieve the expected result.
Now grate all the apples on a coarse grater - you should get a fairly thin straw, as in the photo. Once you achieve this result, sprinkle the chopped apples with the juice of half a lemon. Our filling is ready, which means we can move on to preparing the dry dough.
Step #3. Take a deep bowl and mix the following bulk ingredients in it: wheat flour, semolina, sugar, salt, vanillin and baking powder. As a matter of fact, our dry dough is ready. This recipe is the simplest, although the finished charlotte with this dough will taste simply great.
Step #4. Line any baking dish with a diameter of 25-26 cm with special baking paper. With its help, it will be much easier to get the finished apple charlotte out of the mold. Divide our dry dough into 3 approximately equal parts, cover the bottom of the mold with one of them. Be sure to smooth the dry dough into the pan with your hands.
Step #5. Divide the apple straw in half. Place one part of the filling on the dry dough in the baking pan and distribute the apples evenly over the entire area of the pan.
Step #6. Place the second part of the dry dough on top of the apple filling so that it completely covers the straw.
Step #7. Now take the rest of the apples and spread it on top of the dough in another even layer, and then sprinkle the filling with cinnamon.
Step #8. We continue to prepare charlotte with grated apples according to our recipe. Make the last layer of dessert from the remaining part of the dry dough, then remove the butter from the refrigerator, cut it into thin slices and place it on top of our charlotte. The oil will help the dough and filling bake thoroughly.
Step #9. Place the pan with the future pie in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Bake the apple charlotte for about an hour. Depending on what kind of oven you have, baking may take longer, so do not forget to periodically check our dessert for doneness.
Charlotte is famous for its crispy crust, so towards the end of baking, the top of the dessert should be an appetizing brown hue. If the crust seems too pale to you, then 15 minutes before turning off the oven, increase the temperature to 200 degrees. When the charlotte with apples is completely baked, remove the pan from the oven.
Let the charlotte cool a little - it’s best to serve our aromatic dessert cold. Cut the pie into portions very carefully, and before serving, sprinkle the apple charlotte with powdered sugar. If you wish, you can additionally decorate the dessert with raisins or chopped walnuts. We are sure that both the recipe itself and the cooking process will bring you many positive emotions. A light, juicy and tasty piece of charlotte will definitely cheer you and your family up.
