Ingredients

• sweet and sour apples - 3-4 pcs;
• eggs - 5 pcs;
• sugar - 7 tbsp;
• wheat flour - 5 tbsp;
• cinnamon - 0.5 tsp;
• baking powder - 1 tsp;
• butter - 30 g.

Cooking

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Choose sweet and sour apples, they pair best with cinnamon and work very well for this pie.

2. Peel the apples, remove the core. Cut the apples into slices.

3. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and stir until the sugar begins to melt. Then send the apples to the pan, mix and hold over medium heat so that the apples do not burn, but only become soft and wrapped in caramel. When the sugar has melted a little, add the cinnamon to the pan and stir.

4. To prepare the dough, prepare 2 bowls. Divide the eggs into whites and yolks, add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the yolks, and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the proteins.

5. Whisk the whites first until foamy.

6. Then beat the yolks so that the mass becomes light and thickens a little.

7. Send whipped whites to the yolks, beat again with a mixer or mix with a spatula.

8. Measure out 5 tablespoons of flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and sift the resulting mixture into the egg mass. Mix everything with a spoon until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

9. Lubricate the baking dish with butter. I use a non-stick pan, so I won't grease the bottom and sides. Put the prepared caramelized apples on the bottom of the mold.

10. Pour the dough on top. Send the cake to the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 25-30 minutes. The cooking time will of course depend on the diameter of your cake as well as the oven itself, so keep an eye on the dough and check for doneness with a wooden skewer. Pierce the dough in the middle, if the skewer is dry, that means the cake is ready.

11. Turn the finished charlotte onto a flat plate with apples up. Let cool slightly and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Charlotte with caramelized apples is ready. Enjoy your meal!
