Lean charlotte with apples, no eggs and no kefir. Charlotte with milk

21.12.2021 Beverages

Fruit tarts are the most popular of all home baked goods. They are easy to prepare and always have the right ingredients on hand. Even when there are fasting or vegetarians among the guests, this is not a reason to move the baking recipes to the far corner. Egg-free charlotte recipe will save the day.

Eggs in any recipe can be replaced based on what specific function they should perform in the cooking process:

  1. Lubricant for pies.

Before putting the cake in the oven, grease its surface with an egg so that the crust can brown. But a similar result can be achieved with sweet black tea. If the baked goods are to be savory, then the tea should be replaced with tomato juice.

  1. Bonding and softening the dough.

For this purpose, as a substitute for one egg, you can use a couple of tablespoons of rolled oats soaked in water, or a tablespoon of starch. If we are talking about sweet pastries, then this role can be played by a banana, or a few tablespoons of applesauce.

Cooking recipes

Perhaps it is a very popular dish. Usually her recipe contains several eggs. We offer you recipe options without using them. These egg-free dishes are suitable both for gourmets looking for unusual recipes for preparing familiar dishes, and for adherents of proper nutrition.

Charlotte without eggs on kefir


Ingredients:

  • Wheat flour / Flour - 1 stack.
  • Semolina - 1 stack.
  • Kefir - 1 stack.
  • Sugar (1.5 cups can be used, if the filling is not sweet, like cottage cheese, for example) - 1 cup.
  • Slaked soda vinegar - 1 tsp.
  • Vanillin (to taste, optional) - 1 packet.
  • Cinnamon (to taste, optional) - 0.5 tsp
  • Sunflower oil (I have not tried less than 100 grams) - 100 g
  • Apple (I did it with 0.5 kg, and with different fruits, and with cottage cheese.) - 1 kg
  • Salt (1 whisper) - 2 g

Preparation

Mix flour, kefir, sugar, butter, vanillin, salt. The consistency of the dough is similar to sour cream. Add slaked soda. Pour in peeled, diced apples (or other filling). Pour the mass into a multicooker, or into a mold pre-greased with butter.

For the oven, bake for 40–45 minutes at 180 degrees, check with a toothpick for dough sticking. For a multicooker, set the “Baking” program for 55 minutes and do not check it before turning it off. Then set another 25 minutes, and from 10 minutes start the readiness check. Next, turn off the multicooker and leave with the lid closed for 20-30 minutes. In a multi-cooker, the top never turns red, remains pale. In the oven, he is ruddy. Next, take out the cake from the mold, in the case of a multicooker, turn it over, and we get a golden cake. Cool, sprinkle with whatever we want and eat, bon appetit!

Lenten Chocolate Charlotte

Ingredients:

  • 375 g flour
  • 1.2 cups sugar
  • 1 half teaspoon of salt
  • 1.7 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 0.5 cup cocoa powder, ¾ cup + 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cups of weak coffee
  • vanilla
  • 450 g apples, peeled, diced and lightly stewed (better than Granny Smith)
  • 500 g boiled applesauce
  • 200 g dry cranberries
  • 10 g gelatin or 1 teaspoon agar agar
  • coconut flakes

Preparation


Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Peel the apples, cut into cubes and simmer lightly, adding one tablespoon of vegetable oil to remove excess liquid. After that, fold the finished apples onto a sieve. Rinse dry cranberries, dry and cut (each berry - in half). Combine all dry ingredients: flour, sugar, vanilla, salt, baking soda and cocoa. Add a mixture of "wet ingredients": vinegar, vegetable oil, cooled coffee.

Stir until smooth with a hand mixer or spoon. Place a circle of baking paper on the bottom of a split baking dish, pour half of the dough, add just over half of the apples and cranberries. Pour the second half of the dough on top. Lay out the remaining apples. Bake charlotte without butter and eggs in the oven for about an hour. You can check the readiness of the cake with a toothpick. While the apple charlotte is cooling down, prepare a "cream": put the applesauce in a saucepan and add gelatin or agar-agar. Stir and leave to swell for 10 minutes.

Put a saucepan on the fire, cook the cream, stirring occasionally, until it almost boils. Beat the puree with a hand mixer or planetary mixer until it turns into a white cream. If you're making an agar-agar egg-free charlotte, put a third of the applesauce in a saucepan, mix with gelling powder, bring to a boil and simmer for a minute. Then mix with the rest of the puree.

Quickly, while the agar "cream" is not frozen, coat the charlotte with apples.

Turn the cooled lean charlotte upside down with a plate, and then cut lengthwise into two halves. Lubricate the charlotte with "cream" between the cakes and on top. Garnish the apple charlotte with coconut and leftover dry cranberries. It remains to cut off a piece, decorate with a leaf of mint and drops of jam on a dessert plate - bon appetit!

Charlotte with cottage cheese and apples


Ingredients

For the test:

  • Wheat flour - 2 cups
  • Sugar - 1 tablespoon
  • Fine salt - 1.5 tsp
  • Butter - 100 g
  • Cold water - 3 tbsp.
  • Sour cream (cottage cheese) - optional

Filling:

  • Cottage cheese - 350 g
  • Sugar - 75 g
  • Corn starch - 1 tsp
  • Apples - 3-5 pcs.

Preparation

Sift flour into a large bowl, add salt, sugar, stir, add butter and grind everything together into crumbs. Then, if desired, you can add 1 tbsp. sour cream or 50 g of soft cottage cheese. Or you can simply pour in cold water in parts and knead a soft dough that does not stick to your hands. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in a bag or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Roll out the dough into a layer approximately 4 mm thick, carefully transfer it to a baking dish, make several pricks with a fork. Place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for 15 minutes. While the “box” is baking, prepare the filling. To do this, mash soft cottage cheese with a fork, add sugar and grind or beat with a blender until smooth.

If the cottage cheese is dry, then add a little sour cream.

The finished base must be removed from the oven. Fill evenly with curd mass. Lay out the top with apple slices. You need to spread the apple slices from the edge to the center. Sprinkle the apples with sugar (brown sugar, as an option) on top, you can sprinkle with lightly ground cinnamon. We return the pie to the oven and bake at 180 degrees for about 35-40 minutes. 5 minutes before cooking, you can gracefully grill the pie to accentuate the top.

The finished apple pie with cottage cheese (without eggs) can be neatly removed from the mold and cut in chilled form. Therefore, after cooling, put the pie in the refrigerator and serve chilled, decorated with powdered sugar.

Charlotte with flax seeds


An exquisite recipe for those who like healthy snacks.

Ingredients:

  • flax seeds - 2 tablespoons,
  • 1 glass of natural yogurt
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • sesame oil - 1 tablespoon,
  • one big apple,
  • baking powder.

Preparation:

Mix yogurt with flaxseed, leave for 5-10 minutes. Add butter, sugar and stir. Combine flour with baking powder. Stir the yogurt into the flour until smooth.

Cut the apple into cubes and place on the bottom of a baking dish (don't forget to grease it with oil or cover it with parchment). Now pour the dough over the apples. Place the dish in a preheated oven and bake until golden brown for about 20 minutes. Let the charlotte cool completely in the mold, then serve with tea.

Charlotte with sour milk with semolina


Charlotte without eggs in milk is an equally tasty option, which you must definitely try to cook. This recipe is notable for the fact that you can not add eggs to it at all: especially if there is no time to urgently run to the store for them. The semolina present in the recipe perfectly replaces the egg, linking all the components together. Neither the taste nor the consistency of the cake gets worse.

Ingredients:

  • semolina - 1 glass;
  • wheat flour - 1 glass;
  • sour apples - 3 pcs.;
  • sour milk - 1 glass;
  • granulated sugar - 110 g;
  • oil - one third of a glass;
  • baking powder for dough - 1 pack;
  • lemon - 1 pc.

Preparation

First, sour milk is mixed with semolina. It is better to warm it up a little before use - this way the cereal will swell faster. Mix everything with sugar, leave for a while.

Cooking a lemon: peel it off and rub it on a fine grater. Lemon zest will add an indescribable sourness and pleasant smell to a simple pie. It should be added to the mixture and mixed well again. Cut the apples into small pieces, without peeling off the skin, as it contains a large amount of nutrients.

Lemon, the zest from which has already been added to the dough, must be used again by squeezing the juice out of it directly onto the chopped apples: this way they will not darken, and their taste will become even better. Mix the fruits in a separate container, and pour sunflower oil into the dough, which can also be replaced with melted margarine. Now it remains to add sifted flour with baking powder and soda quenched with vinegar.

Apples can either be placed on the bottom of a pre-prepared baking container, or made into a fruit layer between the layers of dough. Bake the product at 180 ° C for 40–45 minutes, periodically checking the readiness.

A little about the benefits and dangers of eggs


At the beginning of this century, University of Surrey professor of nutrition and metabolism, Bruce Griffin, and his group, analyzed 30 studies on eggs from around the world over the past 30 years. The data obtained allowed us to conclude that eggs do not have a clinically significant effect on blood cholesterol levels.

Eggs - Heart Disease or Protection

In a study last year, scientists from the University of Alberta found that egg yolks contain important amino acids (tyrosine and tryptophan), and one egg has more antioxidants than a large apple. (Heat treatment of eggs reduces the level of antioxidants by 2 times)

Eggs - nutritional benefit or harm

Thanks to the changes in the structure of chicken feed, eggs are more nutritious than a quarter century ago.

  • Modern eggs contain 2 times more selenium and 70% more vitamin D. (As you know, a low level of these two components in the diet is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular and cancer diseases, as well as infertility.)
  • Egg yolk contains 13 of the most essential nutrients in the body.

Do eggs get fat


  • A study commissioned by the UK Department of Health found that modern eggs contain 10% less cholesterol, 13% fewer calories and 20% less fat than 30 years ago.
  • In another study, overweight women ate a choice of bagel or eggs while maintaining the same calorie intake for breakfast. Those who ate eggs over the next 24 hours consumed fewer calories.

“Scientists believe that egg white has a pronounced satiety effect,” said Helen Bond.

I myself did not believe that charlotte - airy and fluffy - could be cooked without a single egg and other speed. Therefore, if it is your birthday, guests have come to you, and there is fasting in the yard, or you want to brighten up your lean everyday life, prepare a lean juicy charlotte.

What do I want to warn you about right away? First, cook according to the recipe, but without fanaticism - I did it. Second, do not rush to immediately remove the finished baked goods from the oven. Well, and most importantly, do not try to cut a hot dessert. Let it cool down.

Although, I admit, hot baked goods have their own charm. Apples are transparent, fragrant. The charlotte itself is delicious. My grandchildren cut her in half until I stopped her, saying that Mom and Dad would also come home from work.

In short, eat in moderation, because lean people can overeat too. Yes, we Christians today find it difficult to fast to the fullest extent. But at least let us refrain so!

Cooking time: 1 hour

Complexity: medium

Ingredients:

    Water - 250 ml

    Baking powder - 2 tsp

    Sugar - 1 glass

    Vanillin - to taste

    Vegetable oil - 125 ml

    Soda - 1 tsp

    Vinegar - to pay off soda

Preparation:

We turn on the oven - it should heat up to 200 degrees. Meanwhile, peel the apples off. Then we will remove the core and cut it as you like. I made such thin slices and did not regret it - they were soft. And large pieces would hardly be baked like that.

And now you can take the dough. In water, heated so that you can touch it with your hand, we send all the ingredients, except for flour and butter. Let's quickly dissolve sugar with vanilla. Baking powder will react instantly.

Then add flour, mix everything and pour in butter. To be honest - I had very little oil, and I poured out only half.

Mix everything with a whisk. We don't even need the smallest lumps. Another confession - I did not put in the soda quenched with vinegar. And at this stage it could be put. But all this did not spoil the charlotte!

Lubricate the mold with oil. Sprinkle it on top with semolina or breading. It all depends on what form you have - whether the finished product sticks to it. Lay out the apples.

Let's fill them with dough. Shake the mold a little so that the dough spreads evenly. Let's send it to bake for 40 minutes.

Charlotte is considered the simplest type of baked goods; novice culinary specialists begin their studies with its preparation. But this cake tastes just as good as some gourmet cake. The aroma of apples flavored with vanilla and cinnamon will fill the entire kitchen and make the neighbors envy. Charlotte just can't fail. Its recipe is so simple that even a child can cope. And she prepares quickly. The classic recipe includes eggs in the ingredients list. But if for some reason you do not use this product, do not rush to give up apple pie. There is a charlotte and no eggs. The recipes for these pastries will be presented for your judgment below.

Why do you need eggs for charlotte

Before we start preparing a vegetarian version of the dessert, let's take a look at the classic recipe. Charlotte has apple flavor. Basically, it's a pie with lots of these fruits. Why, then, are eggs needed in the ingredients? The classic charlotte was invented by the British. It was a variant of the pudding. But the recipe, having arrived on the continent, was modified in the French manner. Now the classic charlotte is made from biscuit dough. And it, as you know, is prepared on the basis of beaten eggs. But the classic recipe is not a dogma. And nothing will stop us from preparing an equally delicious charlotte without eggs. It may turn out denser, not so airy. But in this dish, apples play the part of the main violin. They determine the taste of the whole dish. For dough without eggs, other components are often used: milk, kefir, sour cream. And so that the dish does not disintegrate, semolina, bread crumbs or oatmeal are included in the recipe. The biscuit dough is very moody. Even if the oven door is open at the wrong time, the cake will immediately fall off. If we do not use eggs in the recipe, this incident will not happen.

Some secrets of cooking

Even the simplest recipe has its own characteristics. And you need to know them in order to cook a delicious charlotte without eggs. First of all, we need to achieve maximum airiness of the dough. How to do this without soufflé, that is, without beaten eggs? First, sift the flour well. So we not only get rid of lumps, but also saturate it with air. The flour will become loose and the dough will become fluffy. Secondly, for kneading we use not a whisk, but a mixer. We put the charlotte in a preheated oven. So the beaten dough will immediately "grab" and its structure will become porous. But all efforts will be wasted if we use the wrong apples. Too juicy varieties will turn the pie into porridge. Too sweet will cause the product to burn. It is best to use sour and dense apple varieties for charlotte, such as Antonovka or Simirenko. To prevent the cake from burning, grease the baking sheet with margarine. It will be undesirable if the fat is absorbed into the dough. Therefore, the margarine should be lightly sprinkled with semolina. Finally, place a baking sheet of salt on the lowest level of the oven for even baking.

On kefir

And now we will consider in turn various recipes for charlotte without eggs. The baking powder in this case will be the lactic acid bacteria of kefir and soda, quenched with vinegar or lemon juice. Mix in a wide bowl a glass of kefir, semolina, sugar and flour. Add one hundred milliliters of refined sunflower oil. Add a pinch of salt and a packet of vanilla sugar. We extinguish an incomplete teaspoon of baking soda with vinegar and pour it into the dough. It should turn out like fat farm sour cream. Culinary experts say about him: "like pancakes." I wash 700-800 grams of apples and cut them into thin slices, simultaneously removing fruit pods with seeds. If the fruit has a tough skin, it should be trimmed. Pour the apple slices into the dough and knead. Turn on the oven 180 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with margarine and sprinkle with semolina. We spread the dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon or cane sugar on top. We bake for about forty minutes. We check the readiness with a toothpick. If it comes out of the dough dry, then you can turn off the oven.

Another recipe for charlotte on kefir

In summer, there are many not only apples, but also forest or garden berries. Let's try to diversify the classic recipe. First, mix the bulk ingredients in a bowl: semolina, flour, sugar - just a glass each. Add another bag of cookie powder (10 g). Now add the liquid ingredients. Since we are preparing charlotte without eggs, we will take a glass of kefir and half the amount of sunflower oil. Stir to achieve uniformity. Grease a baking sheet with margarine. Cut three apples into thin slices, mix with a handful of berries (currants, raspberries or blueberries). Put this fruit mass on a baking sheet. Fill with dough and immediately put in a preheated oven. First, bake at a high temperature, about 200 degrees. After ten minutes, when the dough "grabs", reduce to 180 ° C. Bake until cooked for about half an hour.

The dough in this cake will be thicker as we add more flour. So that it is not clogged, combine apples with a banana. The sticky starchy texture of the exotic fruit will fluff up the dough a little. And crispy walnut kernels will make the dessert more interesting. Peel and chop three apples on a grater or in a blender. Sprinkle the puree with lemon juice to keep it from darkening. Peel the banana, mash it with a glass of sugar, add 200 milliliters of milk and three tablespoons of sunflower oil. Stir and start adding flour mixed with baking powder. In total, about two and a half glasses should go. In a dry frying pan, bake a handful of walnuts. Grease a baking sheet with margarine. Put the apples on the bottom in an even layer. Sprinkle with nuts. Fill with banana dough. Move the baking sheet slightly from side to side. This will distribute the dough well over the entire container. We bake charlotte (without eggs, but with a banana) at 180 degrees for about forty minutes. When serving, sprinkle the cooled top of the product with cinnamon mixed with powdered sugar.

Charlotte in butter

Five apples, as in the previous recipe, three on mashed potatoes or coarse shavings. Put one hundred and fifty grams of butter in the freezer. In a separate bowl, mix together a glass of flour, semolina, brown (cane) sugar, add a sachet of baking powder and vanillin. This charlotte recipe (with apples, no eggs) is very interesting because we don't knead the dough. We take a detachable form and pour a quarter of the dry mixture into it. Put a third of the applesauce on it. Then again the flour mass. We alternate layers like this. At the top, we have a dry layer. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. We take out the oil from the freezer and quickly rub it on the upper layer until it softens. We put the form in the oven. We bake for about 45 minutes. Tip: after turning off the heat, do not rush to get the cake out of the oven, otherwise it may fall off.

Vegan charlotte

If you don't eat animal products, you still don't need to give up delicious apple pie. Products such as kefir or sour cream will more than replace coconut milk. But first, let's mix the free-flowing ingredients. And of course, we can do without eggs. This time we will bake charlotte with apples based on semolina and whole grain flour. They need to take one and a half glasses. Add to these two ingredients one hundred grams of sugar (preferably brown, palm or coconut), a spoonful of cinnamon and ground ginger on the tip of a knife. Pour half a glass of coconut milk into the dry mixture. Dilute with water so that the consistency of the dough becomes like sour cream. Finally, add half a spoonful of quenched soda. Free the three apples from the skin and seed pods. Let's cut them into thin slices. Grease the bottom of the baking sheet with margarine and sprinkle with semolina. If we bake in a silicone mold, we can do without fat. But semolina will prevent the product from sticking to the bottom. Pour half of the dough into the mold. We spread the apples. Fill with the remaining dough. We bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 40 minutes.

Charlotte without eggs in a slow cooker

With the help of a kitchen helper, this already simple dish is even easier and faster to prepare. We put a kettle of water on the fire. In a deep bowl, mix half a glass of sugar, the zest of one lemon, a pinch of cinnamon and vanilla each. Add three tablespoons of honey. Pour a glass of boiling water. Stir. Add half a glass of vegetable oil. Mix flour (about 200 grams) with half a bag of baking powder. Bulk ingredients must now be combined with liquid ingredients. Then knead well. Cut two apples and one pear into thin slices. Lubricate the multicooker bowl with oil. Fill with dough. Put fruits on top. We set the "Baking" mode on the unit. Cooking charlotte with apples (no eggs) for about an hour.

A pie without harm to the figure

If you are afraid of gaining excess weight by trying a delicious dessert, then use the following recipe. Oatmeal rich in gluten will replace flour. Fill the instant Hercules with hot milk and wait for the porridge to swell. Cut the apples into small pieces. Grease the form with margarine and sprinkle with semolina. We spread the fruits. Place the oatmeal on top. Such a charlotte is baked without eggs in the oven at 180 degrees for about twenty minutes. Based on the fact that our dessert turned out to be absolutely unsweetened, sprinkle it with powdered sugar or eat it with honey or jam.

If you like sweets, we suggest you try our charlottes with various fillings without eggs in the dough. There will be apples, pears, berries, and much more.

A slice or two can be cut off for tea, and served to guests with coffee or hot cocoa, and a child can be packed to school, and a husband - to work. It's also a good option for a picnic.

General cooking principles

Remember that we need fluffy baked goods, which means that baking soda and / or baking powder will be used. It is also very important to sift the flour. It is she who is saturated from this with oxygen, and then saturates the dough with it.

  • 0.5 tsp soda,
  • vinegar,
  • a bag of vanillin,

Cooking steps:

  1. The best varieties for charlotte are Semirenko and Babushkino. These sweet and sour apples do not lose their shape during the baking process and give the cake that same apple flavor.
  2. Peel the apples, remove the seeds and finely chop the pulp, as in the photo. You can slice the apples without peeling them off, but they will get stuck in your teeth and ruin the overall pie experience.
  3. Take kefir with a fat content of at least 2.5%. The dough should be thick. If there is no kefir, then it is easily replaced with sour cream. An expired dairy product is also suitable: the dough on it turns out to be porous and airy.
  4. To prevent the cake from shrinking, the flour must be sifted through a fine sieve. So she will be saturated with oxygen, and the charlotte will turn out to be magnificent.
  5. Pour kefir into a deep bowl, add flour, semolina and salt, mix.
  6. Add granulated sugar and a packet of vanillin.
  7. Quench the baking soda with vinegar and immediately put in the mixture. Remember to stir everything thoroughly.

  9. Now mix the dough with apples.
  10. Prepare a baking dish: brush the bottom and sides with butter and sprinkle with semolina so that the charlotte comes off easily. Semolina, combined with butter, forms the desired crispy crust at the bottom of the cake.
  11. Place the dish in a preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.

How to cook charlotte without getting into trouble with dough and apple filling? Here are the secrets of the perfect charlotte.

  1. Apples correctly selected are the key to success. Always choose hard varieties. They give the cake a mild, sour taste, for which we love this delicacy. And also hard pieces of fruit do not boil over, and the cake keeps its shape. The best fruits are strong, without dents, with a pleasant aroma and pronounced taste.
  2. If you only have sweet and soft apples, then you can add the desired sourness to the pie by adding cranberries, currants to the dough, or simply pouring in a little lemon juice.
  3. It is better to preheat the oven in advance and only then put the dish with charlotte into it. If you turn on the oven after placing the mold there, then the charlotte will burn on top, and the bottom will be damp.
  4. You can use a round cast iron pan as a cake tin.
  5. It is easy to check the readiness of the charlotte with a match or a toothpick. Pierce the dough: if the toothpick is wet, the pie is not yet baked. Average cooking time is 40-45 minutes.
  6. It is better to keep track of the cake without opening the oven. Check readiness no earlier than a golden brown crust appears. If you open the oven door during baking, the cake will settle and be unattractive in appearance.
  7. Hostesses recommend serving charlotte 15 minutes after it was removed from the oven or multicooker. This will cool down a little and the apple flavor will become more pronounced. It is better to cut the charlotte into pieces hot or warm, the cold pie can fall apart under the knife.
  8. An excellent addition to a pie is sour cream or ice cream. Sprinkle icing sugar on the cake for beauty.
  9. You can sprinkle the charlotte with cinnamon. The combination of this spice with an apple does not need additional advertising.
  10. Charlotte will be even more delicious with coffee, tea or hot milk.
  11. Delicious charlotte cream will turn it into a festive dessert: beat two egg whites with a pinch of salt until peaks form, boil 1 tbsp. sugar and 1 tbsp. water. Pour in the syrup over the whites while stirring.
  12. By the way, you can use the usual charlotte recipes, just replace the egg with a banana. One egg equals half a banana.

As you can see, you can pamper yourself with delicious desserts without harming your figure. Enjoy cooking!
