Charlotte with caramelized apples
Charlotte is a quick and easy pie to make and just as quick to eat. It is so delicious that it is simply impossible to refuse it. The tender dough combined with sweet and sour caramelized apples - can you resist this treat? Charlotte with caramelized apples is very easy to prepare; the only difference from the regular charlotte recipe is that the apples need to be caramelized in a pan with butter and sugar beforehand.

Ingredients
- sweet and sour apples - 3-4 pcs;
- eggs - 5 pcs;
- sugar - 7 tablespoons;
- wheat flour - 5 tablespoons;
- cinnamon - 0.5 teaspoon;
- baking powder - 1 teaspoon;
- butter - 30 g.
Preparation
1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Choose sweet and sour apples, as they pair best with cinnamon and are very suitable for this pie.
2. Peel the apples, remove the core. Cut the apples into wedges.
3. 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 on medium heat so that the apples do not burn but become soft and coated in caramel. When the sugar slightly melts, add the cinnamon to the pan and stir.
4. To prepare the dough, 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.
5. First, beat the egg whites until foamy.
6. Then beat the yolks until the mixture becomes light and slightly thick.
7. Add the beaten egg whites to the yolks, beat again with a mixer or stir with a spatula.
8. Measure 5 tablespoons of flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and sift the resulting mixture into the egg mixture. Mix everything with a spoon until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
9. Grease the baking dish with butter. I use a pot with a non-stick coating, so I won't grease the bottom and sides. Place the prepared caramelized apples at the bottom of the dish.
10. Pour the batter on top. Send the pie to the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 25-30 minutes. Cooking time, of course, depends on the diameter of your pie, as well as the oven itself, so keep an eye on the dough and check its readiness with a wooden skewer. Poke the dough in the middle; if the skewer comes out dry, the pie is ready.
11. Turn the finished charlotte onto a flat plate with the apples facing up. Let it cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar. The charlotte with caramelized apples is ready. Enjoy your tea!
