Charlotte with milk and apples

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a charlotte with milk and apples? Prepare all the necessary products. The variety of apples can be any, to your taste. If you prefer more acidic varieties, Antonovka or Bogatyr will suit you - these are usually green apples. If you like it sweeter, then take apples of red varieties. Take flour of the highest or first grade. Wash the eggs and dry them with napkins.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour the milk into a suitable sized bowl. Beat the eggs into the milk. Milk can be any percentage of fat content, according to your taste, vegetable milk is also suitable. Lightly whisk the milk-egg mixture with a whisk or fork.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the egg-milk mixture. Use any oil, without a pronounced odor, refined.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add sugar to the mixture. For flavor, you can add a bag of vanilla sugar or a pinch of vanilla to the usual sugar. Also, if you prefer spicy and fragrant pastries, ground cinnamon and ginger are quite appropriate - add a pinch of these spices.

5. Step 5:

   

   Now it's time for flour with baking powder. For baking, I recommend always sifting flour - during this process, it is saturated with oxygen and the finished baking turns out to be more airy. Therefore, do not be lazy and use the sieve. Please note that you may take more or less flour than I do. Be guided by the consistency of the dough.

6. Step 6:

   

   The dough consistency should be quite liquid, like low-fat sour cream. Do not put all the flour at once. Mix the dough well so that there are no lumps. In order not to make a mistake with the amount of flour, first sift 2/3 of the flour, mix it with all the baking powder, add to the dough, and adjust the rest of the flour to a greater or lesser side, based on the consistency.

7. Step 7:

   

   Wash the apples well. It's up to you to peel the apples or not. Remove the seed pod from the apples and cut into thin slices.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add the sliced apples to the dough and mix.

10. Step 9:

    

    Prepare a heat-resistant mold in which you will bake the pie. If you have a mold to which baking tends to stick, lubricate it with a small amount of vegetable oil. I like to bake such a charlotte in a low wide shape - this way it is better baked inside. Lay out the dough with apples. Bake the pie in a preheated 200 degree oven for about 30 minutes, but be guided by your oven. The middle of the pie should become quite dense

11. Step 10:

    

    Prepare the filling: it can be done or not, as desired. If you bake a pie without filling, then just add about 10 minutes to the baking time in step 9 and bring it to readiness. To pour, break an egg into a separate bowl, add sugar.

12. Step 11:

    

    Melt the butter, cool to a warm state (so that the egg does not curdle), add the melted butter to the egg container.

13. Step 12:

    

    Mix the filling well until the sugar dissolves.

14. Step 13:

    

    Take the almost finished pie out of the oven, pour the egg-butter mixture on top of it and bake for about 10 minutes at 180-200 degrees.

15. Step 14:

    

    Let the finished cake stand in the mold for about 10 minutes at room temperature, and then remove from the mold. You can serve the pie in a warm and chilled form: this way it cuts better and keeps its shape. Bon appetit!
