Charlotte is rightfully considered a favorite dessert for those who love delicious food and those who love to stand by the stove all day long. The first like it because it has a great taste and aroma, and the second - for the ease of preparation. And indeed, even the most inept hostess will not be able to spoil this dish, so few ingredients are included in its composition. Interestingly. Although charlotte is prepared as easy as shelling pears, in fact, this pie has a long and very interesting story. Our task, of course, is to acquaint you with the recipes for its preparation, and not the origin. However, before telling how to bake charlotte, I would still like to say a few words about what this delicious apple dessert is.
Who came up with it?
It is impossible to answer this question unambiguously. Charlotte is centuries old, but at any time it was a simple, but unusually delicious apple pie. It was originally prepared from slices of bread, not only white, but also black. What were they cooking! The pieces were moistened in syrup boiled from apples, pears or berries and laid in layers, leaving for some time to soak. And they called it nothing more than pudding. In general, the dish received the name "charlotte" on behalf of the wife of King George III. And some sources claim that the pie was invented by an unknown and hopelessly in love chef from England and named it in honor of an inaccessible lover. There is also such a version: the name of the dish was generally invented by the Russians, back in the nineteenth century. In those days, many Germans lived in St. Petersburg, whose wives the townspeople called Charlottes. Frau were extremely economical, so they prepared bread pies for their husbands. And the Americans generally (out of habit, probably) announced that they invented charlotte. And for what reason the cake was named, they did not even bother to explain. By the way, this Stalin was very fond of the cake. To such an extent that, so that he would not be declared a fan of foreign cuisine, he ordered to call the cake - neither more nor less - grandmother in Russian. However, what difference does it make who, how and when called this gentle and delicious dessert. The main thing is that our compatriots really like it, the housewives cook it with pleasure, modifying each in their own way, and grateful eaters admire it. However, before talking about how to bake charlotte different ways, yet a few words about the classic version. What if it comes in handy for someone?
Classic recipe
Which, by the way, despite all the ups and downs with the name, is still considered English. So, charlotte is classic. Slices of bread (preferably white) should be soaked in butter (butter, heated and mixed with sugar), then put them on the bottom of a baking dish, top with baked, mashed or boiled apples. Then comes the layer of bread again. And so, alternating the bun with apples, fill the form to the very top. The last layer is bread. Bake in the oven until the top of the pie is golden brown. You can decorate such a charlotte with anything - ice cream, whipped cream, berries.
The easiest way
Charlotte is prepared according to this recipe as easy as shelling pears. Stocking up:
How to cook
Eggs must be beaten very carefully with sugar, add flour to them, and then beat again. Apples do not need to be peeled. We cut them arbitrarily - into cubes, slices, etc. We take a baking dish, grease it with oil, put apples there, fill everything with the resulting dough. Since such a charlotte with apples is baked in the oven, we send it there for 30 or 40 minutes (until a golden crust appears on top of the pie). The oven must be preheated. Here is such a simple recipe for charlotte.
Revealing secrets
As you know, charlotte with apples is traditionally prepared. But ... To make it really tasty, it is necessary that the apples be sour. They are the best with sweet taste. tender biscuit. And therefore, if for some reason there is no antonovka or another similar variety at hand, then you can dilute sweet apples with sour berries or plums.
To make the dough good, it is desirable to separate the whites from the yolks. And first, beat the first with sugar and flour. And then, at the end of the process, add the yolks to the dough. A biscuit prepared in this way will never settle, and the cake itself will turn out tender and lush.
How to bake charlotte correctly? Many housewives make a mistake at this stage. Remember! Be sure to diligently, for at least fifteen minutes, preheat the oven. And only then send a pie to her. The optimum temperature for cooking is one hundred and eighty degrees. Baking time - from thirty to forty minutes. But! In no case should you open the oven while the charlotte is being cooked there! Otherwise, you will get a sticky and inedible mass at the exit.
To prevent the charlotte from burning in the oven, you can apply one trick. Under a baking sheet with a pie, put exactly the same, but with salt. Thanks to this trick, the charlotte will bake evenly and will never burn.
And the last. The classic is, of course, sacred. But do not be afraid and add something of your own to each recipe. As for charlotte, various flavorings such as vanillin, cinnamon, etc., are quite appropriate in this dish, which will diversify and make even better the already familiar taste of this amazing pie.
Charlotte on kefir
Remember, we recently talked about how if there are no sour apples, you can add berries or plums to the pie? But there are some people who prefer the classic biscuit version - only with apples. What to do in this case? As a way out, we offer the option of preparing a dessert for kefir dough. It is this fermented milk product and is designed to dilute the sweetness of apples. To make this pie we need:
Cooking
The butter needs to be softened, then diligently beat it with sugar, gradually adding one egg at a time to the mass. Add kefir, then flour (preferably sift it), baking powder. Salt. Mix the resulting dough with chopped apples, pour the whole mass into a greased and sprinkled with breadcrumbs form. Bake traditionally - in the oven, at one hundred and eighty degrees, but a little longer - forty-five minutes.
Variations on a theme...
If desired, you can replace kefir with sour cream. This cake is also called Tsvetaevsky. Based on the fact that Marina Tsvetaeva allegedly loved to cook it very much. And treat your guests with such charlotte. True, this version can hardly be called reliable, because, according to contemporaries, the poetess did not particularly gravitate towards cooking. But the name turned out to be beautiful, and therefore it stuck. And very popular. So, we think we need to say at least a few words about how to cook Tsvetaevsky charlotte. What are we stocking up for?
- flour (you will need one and a half glasses);
- sour cream (also one and a half tablespoons);
- butter;
- slaked soda;
- sugar (two hundred grams);
- one egg;
- a kilogram of Antonovka (or other, but certainly sour apples).
Cooking process
From flour, half a glass of sour cream and butter, not forgetting to add slaked soda, you need to diligently knead the dough. Then send it to the refrigerator for thirty minutes. Then take the form, grease it with oil, and then “stick around” with dough, leaving “allowances” on the edges. In this case, it is advisable to peel the apples, then cut them into thin slices, put them on the dough. Mix the remaining glass of sour cream, egg and sugar, pour over apples. Form beautiful sides from the “allowances”, after which you can send the cake to an already preheated oven, where you can bake for about an hour and at one hundred and eighty degrees. This charlotte is served cold. They say it tastes better.
Basically, cooking recipes apple pie there is a mass. And not only apple. Charlotte (its photo is presented in the article) turns out to be no less tasty with berries, and with apricots, and even with cabbage or chicken. In addition, you can cook it not only in the oven, but also in the microwave, and in the dream of all current housewives - a slow cooker. Here is the last method - further.
Charlotte in a multicooker
I must say that in a miracle saucepan, charlotte turns out to be simply amazing. And all because of the features of the multicooker. Thanks to the many modes, the cake is perfectly baked, and the non-stick coating of the bowl prevents it from burning. You can cook charlotte in this unit according to the recipes described above, and according to others. One of them we will now discuss.
Charlotte caramelized
The name is somewhat inaccurate, because only the top will be caramelized, but, as you know, you can’t throw out the words from the song.
Ingredients:
- eggs (three or four pieces);
- sugar (a glass plus two and a half spoons);
- flour (also a glass);
- butter(grams fifty);
- apples (five or six pieces);
- salt;
- cardamom, cinnamon or vanilla - according to preference.
Cooking
Set the "Baking" mode, put oil in the bowl. After it melts, you need to take a brush and smear it on the walls. Then we fall asleep two from the floor. tablespoons of sugar (very good if it is brown). Dissolve it by constantly stirring with a spatula. Apples need to be cut into slices, sprinkle with any of the selected flavors (vanilla or something else to taste), mix, and then put them in a thin layer on the bottom. Then fill with a layer of dough. To prepare the latter, you need to beat the eggs with sugar, gradually adding flour to the mass. Then again a layer of apples, then a layer of dough. And so to the top of the bowl. We close the multicooker, cook on the same “Baking” mode. Cooking time depends on the power of the unit. Usually it is from forty to sixty minutes. After the signal rings, announcing the end of the process, you need to wait another ten minutes, then open the slow cooker and, turning the bowl over the dish, take out the cake.
How to apply
In principle, charlotte is a dish that is so tasty in itself that it does not require any additional ingredients. It is enough to offer a cup of tea or coffee to the cake. However, you can also diversify the dessert. This fragrant pie goes great with, say, ice cream. Or with sour cream, which can be prepared quickly enough. Why do you need to beat a glass of fat sour cream with a mixer, after adding a few tablespoons of powdered sugar and a bag of vanillin to it. By the way, except for Tsvetaevskaya, other types of charlotte are served hot - after only ten minutes after the end of cooking.
Perhaps this could be the end of it. However, in the end, I would like to offer a recipe for, so to speak, an alternative charlotte. Not with the usual apples, but with a more substantial filling.
Hearty charlotte
To prepare this somewhat unusual pie, we stock up:
- raw and boiled eggs (two each);
- mayonnaise (three tablespoons);
- flour (100 g);
- butter (40 g);
- sugar (one tsp);
- cabbage (400 g);
- onion (1 pc.); salt.
How to cook
We will make a pie in a slow cooker. We put it in the "Baking" mode, put the butter in the bowl, as soon as it melts, we fall asleep finely chopped onion. Simmer, stirring, until soft. Then add finely chopped cabbage and eggs grated on a coarse grater. Then we fill the mass with dough made from beaten eggs with sugar, mayonnaise and flour. Mix everything, leave to cook in the same mode for an hour or a little more. If desired, you can take not white cabbage, but Beijing. Or, shall we say, colored. And instead of mayonnaise put sour cream.
In principle, charlotte is a dish that you can experiment with endlessly. Our hostesses have come up with a great many variations on this theme. So feel free to join the ranks of innovators and create! Who knows, what if you come up with some kind of your own kind of this pie, which - and why not - grateful gourmets will call your name.

It is prepared with ease, but it turns out lush and tastes so that you can swallow your tongue.

You will need to separate the protein and yolk again. In the latter, pour all the sugar at once, and beat until it melts. To make the protein beat better, add just a few drops of lemon juice.
This technique will additionally help to remove the aroma of eggs, which may appear during cooking. Beat the whites until a fluffy foam forms.
After that, we combine the protein with the yolk and knead in the most thorough way. Of course, you can not bother separating the protein and yolk, and beat everything together at once, but then your charlotte will not come out so magnificent.
Lubricate the form, already covered with special parchment, with oil. Please note that the diameter of the form is desirable in the region of twenty centimeters. It is allowed to take the shape of a larger diameter, but the charlotte will not come out so lush. Although the taste will not get worse.
