Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare the products according to the list. Eggs can be taken 3 large or 4 small. Since a large amount of sugar is used in charlotte, it is better to take sour or sweet and sour apples. Before cooking, wash the apples and eggs thoroughly. Eggs are best washed with a brush and soap.
Step 2:
In a container, combine the eggs with a pinch of salt. Beat with a mixer at low speed.
Step 3:
Add sugar. Beat for 3-5 minutes until fluffy.
Step 4:
How to check that the egg mass is already sufficiently whipped? The mass should turn white and noticeably increase in volume, and the sugar crystals should completely dissolve. Draw a line with a whisk, if it does not disappear for 1-2 seconds, then the eggs with sugar are beaten well. If the trace immediately spreads and disappears, continue whipping.
Step 5:
Be sure to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. The splendor of baking depends on it. Since the grade and quality of flour is different, its quantity may vary up or down. Just in case, sift more flour than indicated in the recipe. Add baking powder and sifted flour to the egg mixture. Mix it up. The dough should turn out like thick sour cream. Turn the oven on 180 degrees in advance, let it warm up.
Step 6:
Prepare the apple filling. Which apples will work best? Choose green sweet and sour and not very juicy fruits. Due to excessive humidity, baking may not rise well. Take dense fruits. The soft ones will fall apart when baking and turn into porridge, and we need them to retain their shape and structure. Peel the apples from the peel and the middle, cut into cubes or plates according to your desire.
Step 7:
Add the apples to the dough, mix gently.
Step 8:
Lightly grease the mold with oil with a high smoking temperature and pour out our dough. I use a silicone mold, it does not need to be lubricated with anything. Sprinkle the dough evenly with sugar on top. It will create a delicious and crispy crust. Put the charlotte in the oven for 40-50 minutes. To prevent the biscuit from settling, do not open the oven for the first 20 minutes. Perhaps the baking temperature will need to be reduced or increased, it all depends on your oven.
Step 9:
How to check the readiness of baking? Pierce the dough with a dry wooden skewer. If it came out dry, then a simple apple charlotte is ready. We put the finished pie on a platter and give it time to cool down a little. Meanwhile, we put the kettle on!
Step 10:
We cut into portions and invite the household to drink tea with the most delicious and simplest apple charlotte! Enjoy your meal!
