Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make charlotte without eggs? Prepare your ingredients. I’m writing right away that the dough in this pie is heavy due to honey and the lack of eggs. Therefore, the charlotte will not be as airy as in the classic version. The dough here is not biscuit, but honey.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour boiling water into a bowl. Add sugar, add 1 tbsp. l. honey and vegetable oil. Mix everything thoroughly and quickly. Adjust the amount of sugar and honey to suit your taste. I recommend testing the dough for sweetness before baking.

Step 3

Step 3
Sift the flour through a fine sieve and add to boiling water. Add baking powder there too.

Step 4

Step 4
Stir the dough until smooth and free of lumps. It should be quite viscous.

Step 5

Step 5
Grease a small baking dish (diameter 16-18 cm) with butter and sprinkle with semolina.

Step 6

Step 6
Wash the apple well, dry it, remove seeds and cut into slices. If you wish, you can also peel the apple.

Step 7

Step 7
Place apple slices on the bottom of the baking dish, stacking them on top of each other.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour the dough over the apples and smooth the surface. Bake the charlotte in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 35 minutes. Determine the exact time based on your oven model. Mine is electric. In yours, you may have to bake longer or, conversely, less. To avoid burning, you can cover the top of the pan with a sheet of foil.

Step 9

Step 9
Transfer the finished charlotte to a dish, brush the top with the remaining honey, cut into pieces and serve. I also sprinkled it with powdered sugar for beauty. The charlotte has a crispy crust, but the inside is moist because of the apples.
