Classic Charlotte

Description

Classic Charlotte. An important sweet dish in Soviet and post-Soviet history. Light, fluffy batter with a maximum of apple filling — Charlotte has always been seen as a pleasant, simple yet delicious and diet-friendly dish. It is highly recommended to use tart apple varieties, such as Antonovka. They can be added either raw or slightly caramelized in a skillet beforehand. Don’t be shy with the sugar; it magically distributes itself in just the right amount in the batter, while the excess forms a sweet crust.

Ingredients

• Sugar - 1 glass
• Chicken Egg - 5 pieces
• Wheat Flour - 1 glass
• Apple - 7 pieces
• Vegetable Oil - 1 tablespoon
• Baking Powder - ½ spoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, gradually adding sugar.

Step 2

Continue whisking, adding the egg yolks one at a time, followed by the baking powder and flour. The batter should have a consistency similar to sour cream.

Step 3

Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil. Pour half of the batter onto the sheet, evenly distribute the sliced apples on top, and then pour the remaining batter over the apples.

Step 4

Place the baking tray in the preheated oven. Keep it at 390°F for 3 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
