Charlotte is probably the most popular apple pie. And it’s all about the ease of preparation and the taste of the baked goods; the cooking process simply involves mixing the ingredients, and everyone, without exception, likes the airy sponge cake with the most delicate apple pulp. But this recipe also has certain subtleties and secrets, knowing which you can prepare the perfect pie. What does ideal mean? This means that the charlotte will turn out to be as fluffy and tall as possible, will not become stale over time, and not a single unbaked crumb will remain in the cake.

Separately, we can say about the variety of apples used. The most delicious charlotte is obtained with sour and hard varieties of apples, as a rule, these are “winter” varieties. Then the taste of the pie will not be cloyingly sweet, but pleasant sweet and sour, and the apple pieces will not turn into a puree-like mess.

To prepare lush apple charlotte you need to prepare:

- 4 medium-sized chicken eggs, if the eggs are too small, then without a doubt, take 5 pieces;
— 1 glass of premium wheat flour (the type of flour is very important!);
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, can be replaced with a glass of powdered sugar, this will only benefit the taste and appearance of the pie;
- 1 tbsp. l. potato starch;
— 1 hour l. with a heap of baking powder for dough;
- vanillin on the tip of a knife or 1 tsp. l. vanilla sugar;
- 3-4 medium-sized apples, if there are not enough apples, you can add any canned fruit, cut into small pieces, to the pie;
- if available, finely grated zest of half a lemon will complete the taste of the charlotte;
- about 10g butter for greasing the baking dish.

Step-by-step recipe for making the perfect charlotte:

And the very first thing to do before starting cooking is to turn on the oven.

Preparatory procedures will take 15-20 minutes, during which time the temperature should rise to 180-200°C.

To knead the dough, it is advisable to use a fairly spacious deep cup so that it is convenient to beat and mix the ingredients. Break eggs into a cup, add sugar and vanillin

Now you will need a mixer (if you don’t have one, you can use a whisk, but to get a good fluffy charlotte, in this case you will need quite a lot of effort to whip it correctly). Whip the ingredients in a cup until white foam. How to determine that you no longer need to beat? It’s very simple - it will become clear that the foam has been whipped to a certain state, and no matter how much you beat it further, the consistency does not change.

Sift flour, baking powder and starch into the resulting foam. This is done through a small sieve. Sifting is often neglected, and completely in vain. When sifting, the dry ingredients are saturated with oxygen and this directly affects the degree of fluffiness of the finished charlotte.

Wash the apples, wipe them and cut them into pieces, removing the core. Some particularly careful housewives often pre-cut the peel from apples, but this is not necessary. When baked, the peel will become soft and add sourness to the taste.

Place the apples (and if other fruits are used, finely chop them) into the bowl with the dough and stir.

It is better to use a tall pan with a diameter of 21-24 centimeters for baking a pie; in wider pans the cake will not be so tall and fluffy. Grease the prepared pan with a piece of butter.

Place the dough in the mold, you can lay the top with pieces of apples, but, as a rule, the charlotte always “rises” so well that these pieces will not be visible in the finished baked goods.

The oven had already warmed up well by this time. Place the form with the dough in it. Here you can use another trick. Place a heat-resistant small bowl of water on the bottom of the oven; the water will gradually evaporate, and the charlotte will bake in slightly humid air, and pies really “love” this. Depending on the oven, the pie is baked for 40-55 minutes. And although they advise checking readiness with a match, you can simply navigate by the color of the top and sides of the charlotte. The color should be fairly brown, but not start to burn. Turn off the oven and leave the charlotte in it without opening for another 15 minutes, only then take it out.

The finished charlotte comes out of the mold very well; if desired, you can sprinkle the top with powdered sugar, but even without this it looks very appetizing. Now you know all the secrets of making the right fluffy charlotte. And, finally, one more trick - if you remove apples from the recipe, you can bake delicious sponge cakes for any cake!

The apple rescue is about to come or has already come, but this year there are apparently no apples. Many dishes have been invented with this fruit, but lush charlotte with apples in the oven remains popular.

This is the simplest classic apple pie recipe. Therefore, when asked, what will you bake in August-September? The answer is obvious: charlotte. And with or without apples, the hostess herself decides.

Today step by step:

By and large, any type of fruit is suitable for apple pie. It all depends on taste needs: some like it sweet, some like it sour. By the way, it is the sweet and sour taste of charlotte that distinguishes it from other pies.

Is it worth cutting off the skin? Again, as you wish. We use young fruits. They have thin skin.

A little secret - a trick for a particularly delicious apple dessert. Try to cook perfect apples. What should be done?

Bon appetit and drinking tea!

Hello, dear readers! Today I am writing for you recipes for a very familiar dessert - charlotte, fluffy, tender and very tasty. I'm sure everyone has eaten this pie at least once. And it cannot be any other way, because this delicacy is very popular in every family.

Especially in the fall, when many fragrant apples are ripe, it is impossible to imagine a tea party without. But not only these fruits can be used for baking. Other fruits and berries that are available can also be used as a filler. There are no strict canons here, and thanks to your imagination you can create real culinary masterpieces. For example, add nuts or orange zest to the filling and get something new. The most classic spice is cinnamon; it is almost always used.

A huge advantage of this pie is its ease of preparation and the use of ingredients that are always on hand. The dough is prepared in literally 10-15 minutes, the fruits are cut in 5 minutes. And then you just need to wait for everything to bake and delight you with the aroma.

I believe that there can never be too many apples in a charlotte, so I always put as many of them as possible. You can be guided by your taste. But when you see a piece of pie on a plate, soft, sweet, with fruit pieces in the middle, it’s simply impossible to resist.

This is a very simple recipe, there are a minimum of ingredients, and not a lot of time is spent on preparation. I think every home has sugar, eggs and flour, and these are three products from which you can make fluffy, soft, airy biscuit dough. Add apples here and you get charlotte.

There is no need to knead, sculpt, or roll out anything for a long time. Arm yourself with a mixer to speed things up and go ahead!

Ingredients:

• apples - 500 gr.
• eggs - 5 pcs.
• sugar - 200 gr.
• flour - 200 gr.
• cinnamon - 1 tsp.
• vanilla sugar - 1 tsp. (optional)
• powdered sugar for decoration - optional

Cooking method:

1. You can take any apples. But best of all - juicy and aromatic. If you choose sour varieties, the finished pie will have a pleasant contrast of flavors, since the dough is traditionally sweet. If you take sweet fruits, then this step will sweeten the baked goods even more.

Wash the fruits and peel the skins. By the way, it is not necessary to clean it at all; the skin will soften sufficiently during baking. Cut the apples into small pieces into a bowl, add 0.5 tbsp. sugar and cinnamon, mix.

Cinnamon and apples are a classic combination that is very winning. But if you don’t like this spice, you can do without it.

2. Beat whole eggs into a deep bowl. There is no need to separate the yolks from the whites, as is done in. Add a small pinch of salt and start beating with the mixer at low speed. After a couple of minutes, increase the speed and start adding sugar in parts. Also add vanilla sugar. Beat the egg mixture for about 7 minutes. During this time, it will turn white and increase in size.

3. Be sure to sift the flour and add it into the dough in portions. Knead with a silicone spatula or spoon, making upward movements. Try to stir thoroughly so that there are no lumps left, but at the same time carefully to maintain fluffiness.

The flour is sifted to make the baked goods more fluffy. This is a way to enrich it with oxygen. And, as a bonus, remove possible debris and impurities.

4. Preheat the oven to 180º. This dough must be baked immediately so that it does not settle. Therefore the oven must be hot. Grease a baking dish with a small piece of butter. Pour in a third of the batter to cover the bottom. Place all the apples on top. And fill the filling with the remaining dough.

5.Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Do not open the door for the first 25 minutes so that the biscuit does not fall due to temperature changes, this is important. Wait for the crust to brown and check for doneness with a toothpick - it should come out dry from the dough.

Cooking time will depend on the oven itself. And on the size of the form. In a large pan, the height of the charlotte will be smaller, and accordingly it will bake faster. If you take a mold with a small diameter, the cake will turn out taller, but it will take longer to bake.

How to bake apple charlotte with kefir (or yogurt) and soda

Baking with kefir or yogurt will be more moist, unlike the classic version that I described above. The pie according to this recipe will be tall, fluffy and very tasty. The soda will do its loosening job, and you will see a beautiful porous structure.

Ingredients:

• eggs - 3 pcs. (the average size)
• sugar - 1 tbsp. (250 ml)
• kefir - 1 tbsp.
• flour - 2 tbsp.
• soda - 1 tsp. no slide
• apples - 5 pcs. large

Preparation:

1. Beat eggs into a bowl, add sugar and beat with a mixer until fluffy. You don’t need to beat for too long, the mass should double in size. This will take about 5 minutes.

2.Pour kefir into a bowl, add soda to it. Stir and see the reaction: bubbles will appear, the volume of the mass will increase. Pour the fermented milk product into the eggs.

3. Sift the flour and pour into the dough. Beat well with a mixer so that there are no lumps. It is better to add flour gradually, because the amount may not be the same as indicated in the list. It depends on the size of the eggs, the thickness of the kefir, and the quality of the flour itself. Therefore, look at the consistency of the dough - it should be like thick sour cream.

4.Cut the apples into cubes. You don't have to peel the peel if you don't have time. Mix fruit and dough.

5.Take a small mold - 22-24 cm in diameter. If the shape is larger, then it is better to increase the amount of ingredients to make the charlotte tall. It is convenient to bake in a silicone mold - the cake does not stick to it and is easy to remove. It is not necessary to lubricate silicone with grease, but devices made from other materials need to be lubricated with butter or vegetable oil.

6.Pour your sweet preparation into the mold. By this time, the oven should already be preheated to 180º. Bake for 30-35 minutes until browned. Check readiness with a wooden stick - there should be no raw dough left on it.

7. Let the cake cool slightly and remove it from the pan. Boil the kettle and invite your family to a family tea party.

This recipe is basic. It can be supplemented to your taste with cinnamon, vanilla, nuts, and berries. You can even add cocoa and get a chocolate charlotte.
