Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Prepare the products according to the list. You can take 3 large or 4 small eggs. Since charlotte uses a large amount of sugar, it is better to take sour or sweet-sour apples. Before starting cooking, wash the apples and eggs thoroughly. It is better to wash eggs with a brush and soap.

Step 2

Step 2
In a container, combine the eggs with a pinch of salt. Beat with a mixer at low speed.

Step 3

Step 3
Add sugar. Beat for 3-5 minutes until fluffy.

Step 4

Step 4
How to check that the egg mass has already been beaten enough? The mass should turn white and noticeably increase in volume, and the sugar crystals should completely dissolve. Draw a line with a whisk; if it does not disappear within 1-2 seconds, then the eggs and sugar have been beaten well. If the mark immediately spreads and disappears, continue whisking.

Step 5

Step 5
Be sure to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. The splendor of the baked goods depends on this. Since the type and quality of flour is different, its quantity may vary up or down. Just in case, sift more flour than indicated in the recipe. Add baking powder and sifted flour to the egg mixture. Stir. The dough should turn out like thick sour cream. Turn on the oven to 180 degrees in advance and let it warm up.

Step 6

Step 6
Prepare the apple filling. Which apples are best? Choose green fruits that are sweet and sour and not very juicy. Excessive moisture may cause baked goods to rise poorly. Take dense fruits. When baked, soft ones will fall apart and turn into mush, but we need them to retain their shape and structure. Peel and core the apples and cut into cubes or slices as desired.

Step 7

Step 7
Add apples to the dough, mix gently.

Step 8

Step 8
Lightly grease the mold with oil with a high smoking point and pour in our dough. I use a silicone mold, it doesnʼt need to be lubricated with anything. Sprinkle the top of the dough evenly with sugar. It will create a tasty and crispy crust. Place the charlotte in the oven for 40-50 minutes. To prevent the sponge cake from settling, do not open the oven for the first 20 minutes. The baking temperature may need to be reduced or increased, it all depends on your oven.

Step 9

Step 9
How to check the doneness of baked goods? Pierce the dough with a dry wooden skewer. If it comes out dry, then the simple apple charlotte is ready. Place the finished pie on a plate and let it cool slightly. In the meantime, put the kettle on!
