There are two recipes for apple charlotte, which have been “arguing” with each other for the title of classic for several years now. One is made from slices or crumbs of white bread, similar in preparation technology to bread pudding. And the second is the charlotte that I now invite you to bake - fluffy, soft and tender, like a sponge cake; with apple pieces, cinnamon flavor and a light snow of powdered sugar on a thin, crispy crust!

This charlotte is also called “five-minute apple pie,” although it is baked not for 5, but for 25 minutes, but it is prepared very quickly and simply. This is why biscuit charlotte with apples is the most favorite pie during autumn tea parties. What to bake quickly and with a minimum of ingredients for the family for breakfast, or for the children for an afternoon snack; to the arrival of unexpected guests? Of course, charlotte! While you are chatting at the table, Charlotte will be in time.

I offer you a basic charlotte recipe, but you can vary it countless times!

Firstly, charlotte dough can be prepared not only from wheat flour, but also with the addition of corn, oatmeal, buckwheat, and nut flour (half with wheat). Each time the charlotte will turn out with a new taste!

Secondly, in addition to different types of flour, you can add various spices to the dough: cinnamon or vanillin; turmeric, ginger! You can even pour in cocoa, it will be a chocolate charlotte - but the classic version, in my opinion, is better. But if you add a couple of spoons of poppy seeds or chopped nuts to the dough, it turns out very tasty!

Then, you can add not only apples to the pie, but also any seasonal fruits and berries. I tried charlotte with pears and plums; with cherries and apricots, raspberries, strawberries! And each option is delicious in its own way. But let's start with the apple charlotte.

Ingredients for charlotte with apples for a 20-24 cm pan

• 3 large eggs;
• 150-180 g of sugar (incomplete 200 gram glass);
• 130 g flour (1 glass without top);
• 1 tsp. baking powder (or 1 tsp soda, quench with 9% vinegar in flour);
• 1/4-1/2 tsp. cinnamon;
• 2-3 tbsp. l. powdered sugar for decoration;
• 5-7 medium apples.

Method for preparing charlotte with apples

Charlotte tastes best with sweet and sour fruits of green and yellow varieties: Antonovka, Granny Smith, Simirenko, Golden. Loose apples are not very suitable for this pie: they will “melt” in the dough and the taste will not be the same.

Since the dough for charlotte is biscuit, it must be baked immediately after preparation so that the fluffy mass does not settle. Therefore, it is better to prepare the apples and the mold in advance. We also take the eggs out of the refrigerator in advance: when they are at room temperature, they are beaten into a more fluffy mass.

Wash the apples and remove the cores. If you are in a hurry and the apple peel is not very hard, you don’t have to peel it. But I still advise you to spend a little more time and peel the peel, then the charlotte will turn out much more tender!

Cut the peeled apples into small cubes or slices, as you prefer. To prevent the apples from darkening while preparing the dough, you can sprinkle them with lemon juice.

It is convenient to bake charlotte in a springform pan: then the fluffy, tender pie is easy to take out and transfer to a dish. I cover the bottom of the mold with confectionery parchment, similar to how embroidery canvas is put on a hoop: I cover the bottom of the mold with paper, then put the sides on top and close it, and trim off the excess paper. Then I lightly grease the parchment and the walls of the mold with odorless sunflower oil so that the charlotte does not stick. If there is no parchment, grease the pan with butter and sprinkle with flour or breadcrumbs.

If you don’t have a springform pan, you can bake the charlotte in a solid metal pan or even in a cast iron frying pan, only then it will be a little more difficult to get out. But it’s quite possible to cut the charlotte into a mold and eat it straight from there. If you bake in a silicone pan, remove the charlotte only after it has completely cooled, otherwise part of the dough will remain stuck to the pan.

The mold and apples are prepared, it’s time to turn on the oven to warm up to 180-200 °C.

Let's prepare the dough for charlotte. We begin to beat the eggs with sugar first at the minimum speed of the mixer; after 30-45 seconds we switch to medium and then to maximum. In total, beat for 2-3 minutes until the mass becomes light and very fluffy (two to three times more than the original volume).

Sift the flour mixed with baking powder into the beaten eggs and mix gently from bottom to top, in a circular motion. You can add cinnamon to flour or sprinkle it on apples.

You can pour the apples into the mold and pour the dough over them, or put them directly into the dough and mix gently.

In the first case, you will get a tender apple layer at the bottom of the charlotte, in the second, the fruit will be distributed evenly. There is a third option - pour out half the dough, then pour in the apples and pour the second half of the dough over them.

Does the dough spread out like a thick, wide ribbon? You did everything right!

Place the pan in a preheated oven and bake the charlotte at 180°C for about 25-35 minutes. After about 10 minutes, you can carefully look into the oven. If the charlotte is in no hurry to rise and brown, turn up the heat a little (up to 190-200 °C); if, on the contrary, the top crust is already browned, but the middle is still liquid, reduce the temperature slightly, to 170 ° C.

You can cover the charlotte pan with foil to prevent the top from burning while the center bakes. The exact temperature setting will be different for each oven, so be guided by the type of pie: when the crust turns golden brown and a wooden skewer comes out dry from the dough, the charlotte is ready.

Let the charlotte cool in the oven for 5-10 minutes: if you take it out right away, the change in temperature may cause the sponge cake to settle a little. Then let it sit in the pan for another 10 minutes: it is easier to remove the parchment from a cooled cake than from a warm one.

Having opened the mold, move the charlotte onto a plate. I invert it onto the pan lid, remove the parchment, cover the pie with a dish and invert it again.

Sprinkle the charlotte with powdered sugar through a small strainer - it will become more elegant and tastier. Then cut into portions with a sharp knife.

And we invite your family to enjoy tea with aromatic apple charlotte!

Charlotte with apples with cake dough

For this version of charlotte, we use classic cake batter proportions. The cake will be heavy, dense, but loose. Make this charlotte when you want a dense, hearty apple pie.

300-500 g peeled apples,
100 g flour,
100 g butter,
2 eggs,

Chop the apples and mix with the dough. Place the dough in a shallow, wide pan and bake for 30-40 minutes at 180 degrees. Check readiness with a toothpick or skewer - it should come out of the dough dry.

Charlotte with apples on biscuit dough

The biscuit is distinguished by increased sweetness, lack of butter and airiness. It is not so easy to prepare; you should pay close attention to the proportions. Unfortunately for those losing weight, the amount of sugar cannot be reduced; sugar forms the structure of the dough. Beat the eggs with sugar at maximum speed, you should get a thick mass. You need to mix the dough especially carefully, since the bubbles in the egg mixture will allow the cake to rise and become airy.

4 eggs (separate the whites from the yolks)
120 g powdered sugar,
120 g flour,
300 g apples.

Grease the mold with butter, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, add chopped apples and pour biscuit dough on top. Make a small depression in the center of the pan - this will make the cake smoother. Carefully, without jostling, place the pan to bake for 25 minutes at 200 degrees.

Charlotte with apples on biscuit dough with brandy

The whole secret is in the aromatic alcohol. Brandy can be replaced with rum or cognac. Herbal tinctures are also suitable. If you want the apples in the charlotte to not darken, pour lemon juice over them. Alcohol softens the apples, and such a charlotte will be not only aromatic, but also exceptionally tender. This quality can be enhanced by cutting the peel off the apples. In this case, the cake has a chance to look like a soufflé and approach the taste of a gourmet cake.

Ingredients:
1 kg apples,
3 eggs,
1 glass of flour,
1 cup of sugar,
1 teaspoon cinnamon,
3 tbsp. spoons of brandy.

Tsvetaevskaya charlotte

Oddly enough, this recipe is the closest to the original French recipes from two centuries ago. Take apples that are juicy, ripe and aromatic. Sour cream can be replaced with very heavy cream of 33% fat content or higher - it will turn out even tastier. If you can find natural vanilla, add it; the aroma will be stricter, subtler and more solemn. Use the best eggs you can find. If store-bought, then it should be category C0 and the packaging date should not be older than a week. The recipe is designed for a mold measuring 25 by 18 cm.

Ingredients:

For the test:
150 g butter,
1-1.5 cups flour,
½ cup sour cream,
1.5 teaspoons baking powder (baking powder).

For filling:
1 glass of sour cream,
1 cup of sugar,
1 egg,
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar,
2 tbsp. spoons of flour,
4-6 large apples.

Preparation:
Melt the butter and cool. Sift flour with baking powder. In a large bowl, mix flour with sour cream and pour in butter. Knead the dough. Dust with flour and spread the dough over the bottom and edges of the pan to form sides.

Wash the apples and dry them. Cut out the core and cut into thin slices or slices. Spread evenly over the surface of the dough.

Place sour cream in a bowl, add sugar, vanilla sugar and egg. Beat well with a whisk. Add flour, mix well. Pour the mixture into the mold and shake the mold a little so that the filling is better distributed among the apples.

Bake for 50 minutes at 180 degrees. The finished Tsvetaeva charlotte can be served hot or cooled.

Apple charlotte made from white bread

Almost an original old recipe, as if the pie was made in England at the end of the 18th century. The most interesting thing is that preparing such a charlotte is even easier than using the usual biscuit dough. The main secrets: the milk should be full-fat, you can even use 10% cream, there should be more butter for greasing than usual - this will prevent the charlotte from burning. You can use yesterday's bread - that's what the British do.

Ingredients:
500 g apples,
1 glass of milk,
300 g white bread,
1 egg,
¾ cup sugar
3 tbsp. spoons of butter,
1 lemon.

Preparation:
Cut the crusts from the white bread, cut the pulp into 1 cm slices. Cut some of the bread into cubes and dry. Milk, egg and 2 tbsp. mix spoons of sugar and beat with a whisk.

Remove the zest from the lemon. Peel and seed the apples, cut into cubes, pour in lemon juice and sprinkle with sugar. Grease the pan thickly with butter.

I want to tell you about real charlotte, and not that three-egg apple pie that our mothers began to call charlotte since Soviet times.
Grandmothers cooked the real thing, ideally from French stale white bread, or from croutons.

I found this recipe in my grandmother’s notes - I liked it and decided to bake it, besides, I had a whole loaf of white bread lying around for the third day (somehow it turned out that we didn’t eat it. This charlotte is prepared from the simplest ingredients, but The result pleased me and my whole family!

Charlotte turns out soft and juicy, the aroma of fresh bread and baked apples is mixed in it! It's best eaten warm! On the first evening we ate more than half of it; I put the charlotte in the refrigerator overnight and warmed it up in the microwave in the morning - it was very tasty even on the second day! I will definitely bake it again!

0.5 liters of milk (I used 2.5% fat content)
2 eggs
0.5 cups sugar
30gr. oils
3 apples
Dried white bread (you can, I think, also fresh), you can have a loaf

Cut the bread 0.8 cm thick and into quarters
Beat the eggs with milk and sugar, drop the pieces of bread into it and place in a pan lined with parchment or sprinkled with breadcrumbs,

Top with thinly sliced ​​apples (I also sprinkled with raisins for extra sweetness) and pieces of butter.

And repeat. So there should be 3 of each layer and apples will be on top. At the end, press and compact all layers a little. If there is any egg-milk mixture left, pour it on top.

I don’t think the number of layers and the fact that apples are on top are important - you can put bread on top, or you can have fewer layers - if there is not a lot of bread.
In general, you can safely experiment with the filling - add, for example, some berries (cranberries, lingonberries, black currants) to the apples.
This is what happened (decorated with strawberry jam)
