Apple pie - charlotte - the fastest, simplest recipe "for tea". I give an insanely simple recipe, it's very easy to remember. The main part is dough and apples, but you can put different additives: dried fruits, nuts, a couple of tablespoons of some aromatic alcohol, different seasonings (cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla); sprinkle with powdered sugar or cream on top (I'll tell you about custard just now). You can even turn a charlotte into a cake: cut it lengthwise into 2 cakes, layer it with cream - butter, protein, butter - decorate, for example, with white chocolate chips or sprinkle with nuts.

It is necessary (for a form with a diameter of 25cm):

Basic basis:
3 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup of sugar
3 large apples
0.5 tsp baking powder for dough

Additives:
100g raisins
100g nuts

For the custard:
2 yolks
4 teaspoons of powdered sugar
4 tsp flour
200 ml milk

Cooking time: 40-50 minutes.

I write in glasses, not in grams - if there is a faceted one, it will be even better - it is important that the amount of flour and sugar, by volume, in any case, will be equal. Well, take eggs larger, they, like porridge with butter - you will not spoil a charlotte.

Heat the oven to 180C.

Apples (I had small ones, so I took 6 pieces), peel from the middle, cut into slices.

Grease the form with butter, place the chopped apples on the bottom.

Prepare the dough: break the eggs into a bowl, add sugar, beat a little. Add flour and baking powder, stir. There should be no lumps (this is just a quick option. There is a second - divide the eggs into whites and yolks, beat the whites into a cool foam, and then add it to the mixture of yolks and sugar, sift the flour and mix gently. In this option, the baking powder is no longer will be needed at all)

I crumbled the raisins a little, if you want - put them whole.

Nuts (I have almonds) crushed in a mortar (large pieces in baked goods are very "distracting", in my opinion).

Pour raisins and nuts into the dough, mix.

Put the dough into the mold, on top of the apples (it turns out, as a rule, not too thick, it spreads itself evenly. If you wish, you can smooth it out with a spoon).

We send to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top of the pie is brown.

Since the dough is still biscuit, try not to open the oven door during baking, the cake may settle.

For readiness - whether it's baked or not - we check with a match or a toothpick (although I can say with confidence that it will be baked in 30 minutes at 180C). If the middle is still wet, reduce the temperature in the oven to 160C and bake for a few more minutes (up to 10).

While the finished cake is cooling, we cook custard.

In general, there are many options for preparing such a cream: sometimes it is prepared by "brewing" the yolks with hot milk, and then cooled. Sometimes everything is mixed at once and already heated together, boiled over low heat until a thick cream. I had the second option.

So: separate the yolks from the proteins, put in a saucepan (enamel, glass, the main thing is not metal, it will give the cream an iron taste, which is completely unnecessary. Well, keep in mind that we will prepare the cream on the stove), add powdered sugar and flour, stir ...

Pour in milk, stir.

Put on a low heat, stirring constantly so that the cream does not boil to the bottom of the pan and does not boil, boil it, stirring the lumps.

When the cream begins to thicken, this will happen after 7-10 minutes, remove it from heat and let cool. Better to put in a cool place - it will be faster.

The cooled cream will become thick, it is better to mix it well one more time.

Take the charlotte out of the mold.

Pour cream on top.

You can eat right away, you can wait a little - the cake will be soaked in cream.

In this article, you will learn the history of the pie and the peculiarities of cooking, as well as learn how to cook charlotte with apples in a slow cooker and in the oven.

This dish is borrowed from England. According to legend, it was invented by grateful peasants for Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III of England. The original cooking technology was very different from the current charlotte.

Dessert was just a type of bread pudding, which, moreover, did not require additional processing. The recipe was remarkably similar to tiramisu. Small pieces of bread were soaked in syrup, usually pear, apple, or apricot. Then they were laid out on a dish in layers: a layer of bread alternated with a layer of apples. After that, the dish was cooled. As you can see, the recipe was extremely straightforward. Years passed, times changed, and the recipe also did not remain unchanged. The current classic charlotte is prepared in a more complex way.

Classic Charlotte recipe

Modern charlottes can be divided into two types. The first of them is English charlotte. It is more like the original dish. The second type is Russian.

How to prepare the dough correctly

The correct preparation of the dough is the key to the success of the dish, because the dough is the basis for the whole charlotte. The dough can be prepared with many fermented milk products: kefir, yogurt, yogurt, fermented baked milk. You can also use standard dough - eggs and flour.

Nothing should limit your culinary imagination! Experiment, create. A tasty dough will turn out if you add some spices and additives to the base, such as:

cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, ginger, cane sugar, citrus zest. Sometimes various alcoholic beverages are added to the dough for taste.

Remember, you don't need to use the cooked dough right away. There is nothing stopping you from making the dough and putting some of it in the refrigerator for later use.

It is very important to monitor the consistency of the dough during cooking, because the final dessert directly depends on it. The more airy and fluffy the eggs beaten with sugar are, the more airy and pleasant-looking the finished dish will be. The more evenly the dough is kneaded, the smoother and tastier the biscuit will be.

Under no circumstances should you underestimate the sugar content. Even if you are on a diet, you will not be able to reduce the amount of sugar - it is absolutely necessary for the formation of the airy structure of the biscuit.

How to decorate a ready-made charlotte

Decorating a finished dish is no less important than preparing it. The perception of its taste by those who eat it depends on the appearance of the dessert. You can decorate in fairly simple ways, for example:

1. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. A simple and safe option that will improve the taste of your dish.
2. Cover with whipped cream. Nice and tasty, in addition, with the help of cream, you can even draw some kind of pattern.
3. Decorate with strawberries and other berries. This option allows you to reveal, complement the taste of the filling.
4. Place fresh apple slices on top. Such decoration will not change the original taste of charlotte.
5. Add ice cream balls. Vanilla ice cream is especially well in harmony with apple biscuit. Be sure your dessert will evoke associations with the famous Austrian strudel.

But there are more complex ways that will completely change the appearance, and sometimes the taste of your charlotte. You will find out the three most beautiful options below.

The first option is chocolate icing with toppings. This method will make your dessert look spectacular - just like a full-fledged cake.

He prepares as follows:

1. The chocolate is melted in a water bath.
2. The cake is covered with the resulting glaze.
3. Green leaves are dipped in chocolate and placed in the refrigerator until the glaze hardens.
4. The chocolate is gently peeled off the leaves.
5. The resulting chocolate leaves are attached to the biscuit.

Note that this method has many variations. To begin with, you can use absolutely any type of chocolate: bitter, milk, white, with nuts, and so on. It depends solely on your own preference.

Then, you can add any toppings to the recipe. Would you like to sprinkle waffle crumbs on your glazed cake? Easy! Do you want to add berries, nuts, fruits? Feel free to add, this will only decorate the charlotte and give it an additional taste.

We will consider one especially original and effective version of the supplement below. In addition to leaves, edible cones can appear on your cake as decoration!

Method for preparing edible cones:

1. Add unsweetened cookies like Jubilee to the chocolate icing. A biscuit will also work.
2. Form small balls from the mixture, elongated to one side. They will form the basis for the buds.
3. Chop the nuts finely. Hazel is ideal, but almonds can also be used.
4. Stick the chopped nuts into the base.

This method looks amazing. Ideal for a New Year's or Christmas festive table.

The second option is apple roses. This wonderful decoration will not change the original taste of the cake. Despite the external complexity of preparation, these roses are not so difficult to make:

1. Core the apple.
2. Cut the apple very thinly into slices.
3. Twist the circle into a spiral.
4. Form a rose from several twisted circles.
5. Fix the rose on the charlotte.

This method is also variable. You can keep fresh apple roses. If so, sprinkle them with a drop of lemon juice to keep them from darkening. You can pour caramel over the roses, this will give them extra strength. If you want the roses to be from baked apples, put the dessert decorated in this way for 5 minutes in the oven or microwave.

You can make roses of different sizes. If you want a larger rose, just take a larger apple or form roses from more circles.

The last way is mastic figures. Anything can be formed from mastic, from roses to complex ornaments and shapes. Mastic is made like this:

You will need:

• a tablespoon of gelatin;
• 150 grams of powdered sugar;
• one glass of cold water;
• lemon acid;
• vanilla or at least vanillin.

1. Put the gelatin in a deep plate. Pour in a glass of water. Insist for two hours.
2. When the gelatin swells, discard the excess water. Dissolve gelatin in a water bath without boiling.
3. Add powdered sugar, vanilla and citric acid to the gelatin. Mix well.

If you did everything correctly, you should have got a mass similar in consistency to plasticine. This is mastic.

What is better to serve on the table

A dish cannot be viewed separately - it is always served with something or with something. Since charlotte is a dessert, it can be served with tea or coffee, but it can also be an independent dish. A few tricks will help you improve its taste and appearance.

First, the filing time. Serve the cake 10-15 minutes after cooking. It should be still hot, but not scalding.

Secondly, what to serve with. Vanilla ice cream will perfectly set off the taste of apple dessert. It is also possible to use sour cream or whipped cream. Sour cream is prepared like this:

1. Beat a glass of fatty sour cream with a mixer until smooth.
2. Mix the powdered sugar (about 5 tablespoons) with cane sugar or vanilla and add to the sour cream.
3. The cream is ready!

And last, third: what drinks to use. In addition to the aforementioned teas and coffee, the pie goes well with milk, low-fat yogurt, cherry compote.

So you learned how to cook apple charlotte in a slow cooker and not only. You also learned about decorating and serving options. Not without the history of this amazing recipe. In conclusion, I would like to give an important tip: do not be afraid to experiment! The basic simple recipe is easy to improve, and from the "zest" your cake will become not only more individual, but also memorable.

Apple pie (charlotte) is one of the most popular family treats. It is simple to prepare, without long vigils at the stove, does not require special ingredients, households like it, and guests are not ashamed to serve it. It remains to decide how to decorate the charlotte - and you can make it the main sweet dish on the festive table.

Treats under sugar "snow" or colored "ice"

The most affordable way to dress up your apple cakes is to sprinkle them with powdered sugar. This should be done when the cake has cooled down, otherwise a thick white blanket will not work - it will melt, turning into tasty, but not too cute, whitish stains. Whipped cream (including purchased ones), sour cream or curd cream are quite worthy additions to a home culinary masterpiece. If nothing like this is at hand, you can simply grind the butter with condensed milk.

Another option is a mixture of chocolate and nut (waffle) crumbs. It, unlike powder or cream, should be applied to baked goods that are still warm - so that it “melts” a little to the surface of the finished product.

Is it enough powder or filling alone? From above, you can beautifully decorate the charlotte with fruits (preferably canned) - for example, thin peach slices, pineapples, plums or pears. Together with the apple filling, strawberries, drops of cherry confiture, bright patterns of dark red jam sound great. For extra freshness, you should take tiny mint leaves or lemon circles. But it is not recommended to use sliced ​​fresh apples as elements of a festive design - they darken too quickly, oxidizing in the air.

It's a good idea to use glaze instead of powder. By adding a little cocoa powder or special food colors, you can make your culinary masterpiece incredibly bright - purple, pink, turquoise, light green or sunny yellow. On such a pretty field, it is quite appropriate to start up a contrasting inscription - from butter or protein cream, liquid chocolate, thick jam.

If the apples for baking are not too coarsely sliced, the top of the pie can turn out smooth, like a regular biscuit. In this case, it is convenient to use culinary mastic - purchased or prepared on your own. Its base is gelatin, which provides the coating with special plasticity. That is why not only an even "canopy" is obtained from mastic, but also nice decorative figures.

The recipe for homemade mastic is simple: a tablespoon (large) spoon of gelatin with top, half a glass of ordinary cool water, if desired - a drop of vanillin, citric acid. Plus powdered sugar - about 200 g.

• Soak gelatin in water (it is best to do this immediately in a saucepan, which can then be put on the stove). He has to insist and swell within an hour. If you want to get a bright mastic, you need to add a little food coloring to the solution.
• Have all the crystals turned into a translucent viscous mass? We put the dishes on fire and heat the contents until completely dissolved (remembering to stir all the time). You cannot bring to a boil!
• Cool the dissolved gelatin, add sugar and all the flavors, knead the elastic sweet "dough". It is quite elastic - it easily rolls out, stretches, lends itself to sculpting. Ideal base for jewelry making.

Original decor - according to all the rules of culinary art

The pie is close to ideal, but you want to additionally decorate the charlotte on top? In addition to figurines made of mastic, a variety of options are suitable - from classic cream roses to highly artistic edible installations.

Simple yet very sophisticated decorative delicacies are made from chocolate. The easiest way is to take a ready-made store-bought tile (without fillers), break it, melt it in a ladle in a water bath, and then draw monograms (flowers, feathers, leaves) on waxed paper with a thin stream. Such a blank is usually placed in the freezer for literally half an hour - after that, the delicate sweet decoration keeps its shape perfectly.

It goes well with meringue shell biscuits. If you have time, they can be baked and then planted in butter cream. In time pressure conditions, try to do with embossed curls of proteins, whipped to the desired thickness with sugar. A little almond crumbs, a drop of cinnamon, a handful of multi-colored candied fruits also do not hurt.

When deciding how to decorate a charlotte with apples, do not forget: the pie can look great without any additional frills. The main thing is to arrange the fruit slices in an unusual way (for example, in the form of a flower). The finished product is turned over onto a dish, so the “bottom” and “top” are reversed, and the apple pattern becomes clearly visible. The same pinch of powdered sugar before serving - and the pastries are worthy of a festive banquet!
