Charlotte with caramelized apples
Charlotte is a quick-to-make and just as quickly devoured pie. It's so delicious that it's simply impossible to refuse it. Tender dough combined with sweet and sour apples in caramel - can you really not try this treat? Charlotte with caramelized apples is very simple to prepare; the recipe differs from the ordinary charlotte only in that the apples need to be caramelized beforehand in a pan with butter and sugar.
Ingredients
Show ingredients
- sweet and sour apples - 3-4 pieces;
- eggs - 5 pieces;
- sugar - 7 tablespoons;
- wheat flour - 5 tablespoons;
- cinnamon - 0.5 teaspoon;
- baking powder - 1 teaspoon;
- butter - 30 g.
Preparation
- Prepare all necessary ingredients. Choose sweet and sour varieties of apples, as they pair best with cinnamon and are very suitable for this pie.
- Peel the apples and remove the core. Cut the apples into wedges.
- In a pan, melt the butter, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and stir until the sugar begins to melt. Then add the apples to the pan, stir and keep over medium heat so that the apples do not burn but become soft and coated with caramel. When the sugar just begins to melt, add the cinnamon to the pan and stir.
- To prepare the batter, prepare 2 bowls. Separate the eggs into whites and yolks; add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the yolks and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the whites.
- Beat the whites until frothy.
- Then beat the yolks until the mixture becomes light and slightly thickened.
- Add the whipped whites to the yolks and beat again with a mixer or stir with a spatula.
- Measure out 5 tablespoons of flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and sift the mixture into the egg mixture. Stir everything with a spoon until homogeneous.
- Grease the baking dish with butter. I use a pot with a non-stick coating, so I won't grease the bottom and sides. Arrange the prepared caramelized apples at the bottom of the dish.
- Pour the batter on top. Place the pie in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 25-30 minutes. The cooking time, of course, depends on the diameter of your pie as well as your oven, so watch the batter and check for readiness with a wooden skewer. Piercing the batter in the middle, if the skewer comes out dry, the pie is ready.
- Turn the finished charlotte out onto a flat plate with the apples facing up. Let it cool slightly and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Charlotte with caramelized apples is ready. Enjoy your tea party!
