Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a classic charlotte with baking powder? Prepare your food. Remove the eggs from the refrigerator in advance; the dough will rise better if it is mixed with warm ingredients. Take sweet and sour varieties of apples, with these the charlotte will turn out tastier and more aromatic. I cooked using 4 eggs.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the eggs and beat them into a bowl. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush. Start beating them with a mixer, gradually increasing the speed. Pour sugar into the eggs in portions. When all the sugar has been added, continue beating until a fluffy light mass is obtained. This will take about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3
Sift flour and baking powder into a separate bowl. This will saturate it with oxygen, which will make the baked goods more fluffy. Stir.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour the flour into the egg mixture in portions, kneading the dough well after each portion with a silicone spatula. Try to be careful not to destroy the fluffiness of the whipped product. The finished dough will be homogeneous and fluid, like low-fat sour cream.

Step 5

Step 5
Prepare the apples. Wash them and cut off the skin. Cut into quarters, remove the core and seeds. Cut the resulting pieces into thin slices.

Step 6

Step 6
Take a suitable baking dish, I have a glass one with a diameter of 18cm. Grease the bottom and sides well with a piece of soft butter. Then pour breadcrumbs into the pan and shake it. The breadcrumbs will stick to the butter, forming a protective layer that will prevent the dough from sticking.

Step 7

Step 7
Pour half of the dough into the mold. Place apple slices on it in a circle.

Step 8

Step 8
Then pour in the other half of the dough. And also add apples. Place the slices tightly as they will shrink in size during baking.

Step 9

Step 9
Place the charlotte in the oven, preheated to 180°C. Bake it for 35-45 minutes. The exact time will depend on the features of your oven and the height of the pan. Check readiness with a wooden skewer — inserted into the center, it will come out dry. Take out the mold with charlotte and cool it.

Step 10

Step 10
Serve the charlotte to the table. Bon appetit!
