Charlotte with rhubarb and cinnamon

Sour rhubarb is combined with the light sweetness of the air dough. In our country, rhubarb is treated as a fruit and is used mainly for making compotes, jelly and pies. In Europe and America, in addition to pies and desserts, a wide variety of rhubarb dishes are prepared: salads, side dishes for meat and fish, prepared in the form of spicy sauces – chutneys and relishes. My favorite dish is beef stew with rhubarb. Meat with such a side dish turns out to be simply delicious. Now another of my favorite dishes is this charlotte. I like it with rhubarb even more than with apples.
