Each housewife has her own baking secrets, which has contributed to the emergence of a large number of delicacy recipes. Apple pie is combined with a variety of fillings; in some you can even find a cocoa-based filling.

Calorie content of charlotte

The issue of calorie content cannot be called accidental, because many people love pie. Classic charlotte has the lowest calorie content - 200 kcal per 100 grams. Provided that the composition includes only apples, eggs, flour, sugar and no margarine. For comparison, for a dessert with sour cream, the energy value increases to 220 kcal per 100 grams.

How to knead dough correctly

Charlotte is a common treat, the taste of which largely depends not only on the filling, but also on the dough, which is kneaded from the simplest ingredients, but not every cook turns it out light and airy.

3. To prevent the dessert from burning, place regular parchment on the bottom of the baking dish.
4. To preserve the splendor, place it in a preheated oven and do not open the door until done.

Some housewives make the dough a little differently. When kneading, they do not separate the eggs and beat the mass with a mixer. Others solve the fluffiness problem with baking powder. The main thing is that the dough rises high. This is the main secret of a delicious pie.

• Ordinary sour apples are ideal for charlotte and Antonovka is beyond competition. The bright aroma, complemented by sourness, sets off the sweet flour base. If there are no sour fruits, add some berries.

Sprinkle chopped apples with cinnamon, add 2 tbsp. l. cognac or brandy and leave to stand. It is better to cover the apples with a lid to prevent them from darkening. You can add a little lemon juice, it will help the apples retain their natural color.

Would you like to try the extraordinary tangerine charlotte from the maestro of the confectionery genre Alexander Seleznev? Then watch the video recipe!

It is believed that charlotte was invented by the British. It got its name either from a woman’s name, or from a word denoting a similar dish. But this dish did not contain apples, so the first version, which also has variations, is considered more likely. The name could come from both the queen and the girl with whom the creator of this dish was in love.

Secrets of making charlotte

• Sift the flour for the dough. In the bag it is compacted, and occasionally small lumps may occur. After sifting, it will be saturated with oxygen, become looser, and the dough will eventually become airy.
• Beat eggs with sugar. It is recommended to first separate the whites from the yolks.
• Achieve uniformity. The dough should be runny but homogeneous. Use a blender or mixer for mixing.
• Add a little baking powder. Traditional charlotte with apples should be made as “airy” as possible.
• Take sour apples, for example, Antonovka. Sweet or too juicy varieties are not suitable.
• Lay out in layers. The classic recipe for charlotte with apples requires layering the fruit. This not only changes the taste, but also the appearance, turning an ordinary apple pie into an exquisite dessert.
• Take care that the pie does not burn. Line the baking dish with special paper or sprinkle semolina on top of the greased bottom so that the cake does not come out too greasy.
• Do not open the door. Preheat the oven in advance, and after inserting the dessert inside, do not open it until ready. Biscuit dough is “capricious” in terms of temperature, so it can fall.
• Achieve even baking. For those who want to bake a true masterpiece, it is necessary to take into account that the heating in the oven is not always stable. One edge may bake a little more, the other a little less. The solution to the problem is to place the pie on the middle level and place a baking sheet with coarse salt on the bottom. This way the temperature will be even.

The classic recipe for apple charlotte in a slow cooker has one pleasant feature - it does not include soda or baking powder, because the charlotte is already airy. However, it is not recommended to prepare this dessert without first whipping it with a mixer. In the slow cooker, the charlotte comes out with a pale top.
