Step-by-step cooking

Step 1:
How to make a gluten-free charlotte? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Rice, oatmeal, almond, coconut, soy flour is suitable for such a charlotte. In some recipes, you can find all these types of flour separately or mixed in certain proportions. In our recipe we use only oat flour and starch.
Step 2:
Combine eggs at room temperature with sugar and beat with a mixer until fluffy. Take large, selected eggs. If the eggs are small, take 4 pieces. The airiness of your pie depends on how you beat the eggs. You can not beat the mass straight white and to a density - the protein will lose the air bubbles that lift the dough. And in this case, even baking powder will not help. The dough will either not rise at all, or it will rise very weakly.
Step 3:
Sift oatmeal together with starch and pour parts into the dough. Each time, beat the mass at low speed until smooth. You can add cinnamon immediately to the dough or sprinkle it on apples - choose for yourself. You can not add cinnamon at all.
Step 4:
The finished dough should be the same airy with lots of small bubbles on the surface. This means that it is cooked correctly and will turn out to be airy when baking.
Step 5:
Wash the apples and remove the core. Cut the pulp into slices of medium thickness. So that the apples do not darken, as they are sliced, I immediately transfer them to a bowl of cold water, acidified with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. So even the sweetest varieties do not darken.
Step 6:
Cover the form (⍉ 20 cm) with parchment and grease the bottom with butter. Put the sliced apples into the mold.
Step 7:
Spread the dough on top. Bake the charlotte in a preheated 180 ° C oven for 35-40 minutes. The top should turn red. Focus on your oven. Check readiness with a skewer – it should come out dry.
Step 8:
Remove the finished charlotte from the mold and cool slightly. If desired, you can sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar. Then cut into pieces and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!

Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. To avoid mistakes, read about flour and its properties!

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use the useful information about the features of ovens !
