Among the huge community of indoor representatives of the Araceae family, syngonium is the only plant that cannot boast of an increase in popularity in the last decade.

And before you start cooking, I want to say that many people ask this question: how long does it actually take to bake it? It is impossible to give a specific answer. The dish is approximately ready in 30 minutes, but it happens that it may take a little less or more time. It always depends on the type of dough prepared and the temperature set in your oven.
Ingredients:
- Apples - 3 pcs
- flour - 1 cup
- egg - 4 pcs
- sugar - 1 glass
- vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
- vanilla - 10 gr.

We wash the apples under running water, peel them, remove the core and cut them into small slices.
Now take a suitable baking dish, grease it with oil, put the chopped apples in it and fill it with the prepared dough on top.
Place the filled pan in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for 45 minutes until a nice, golden crust.
Before you are completely convinced, you can check the readiness of the pie using a match or a toothpick; if, after piercing the pie, dough remains on the match, then the pie must be held still, and if the match remains clean, then the baking is ready.
Lush charlotte with apples in the oven
To prepare, you first need to prepare the apples and preheat the oven to the desired temperature. As soon as the dough is prepared, it must be immediately poured into the mold and sent to the oven. To make it fluffy, you need to beat the eggs well, and add flour and knead only without a mixer, since the weight of the flour will cause the eggs to shrink and you will then end up with a sole.
Mix the flour with the already beaten eggs with extreme care. Carefully pour the dough into the mold without shaking or hitting it and place it to bake, otherwise the dough will shrink and then there is no need to talk about any splendor.
Ingredients:
- Apples - 5-6 pcs.
- flour - 130 gr
- eggs - 3 pcs
- sugar - 1 glass
- powdered sugar - for decoration
- cinnamon - to taste
- vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon.
Cooking method:
We thoroughly wash the apples in water, peel them, cut them into slices and place them in a deep baking tray.
Break the eggs into a deep cup, add sugar there and beat with a mixer. Add flour and start kneading the dough.
Pour the resulting dough into the mold with apples and immediately place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees.
In about 45-50 minutes our fluffy charlotte will be ready.
Sprinkle powdered sugar on top and serve.
Charlotte with apples in a slow cooker
In this recipe I will share with you a method for preparing this delicacy in a slow cooker. My wife and I love this pie. And since only 3 sides are baked in the slow cooker, and the top remains pale, I always turn it over before serving. In this case, you get a nice golden crust on top.
Ingredients:
- Apples – 450 gr
- flour - 1 cup
- eggs - 3 large pieces
- refined oil - 1 teaspoon for greasing the mold
- sugar - 1 glass.
Cooking method:
We are preparing ingredients for the future pie. Wash the apples thoroughly, select large eggs and sift the flour.
Break the eggs into a deep bowl and add sugar, then beat with a mixer, only at maximum speed, until a light, fluffy consistency and approximately 3 times the size.
Like here in the photo.
Pour the sifted flour into the total mass, and using a mixer at low speed, bring the dough until smooth and try to make it without lumps.
If desired, for flavor, you can add a small pinch of vanillin to taste.
In this case, I cut the apples with the skin into small slices, cutting out only the core; if suddenly your skin is thick and harsh, then it is better to cut it off. Grease the multicooker bowl with oil and evenly place the chopped apples in it.
Pour the dough evenly into the cup so that it all spreads between the apple slices and set it in the multicooker to the “Baking” mode for 50 minutes.
After turning it off, open the multicooker and let the finished pie cool, then take the mold, turn it over onto a plate and sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
Slice the finished charlotte and serve.

We probably don’t have a family where they don’t make such a pie with the beautiful name “Charlotte”. I was sure that the name was connected with France. But it turned out that the classic charlotte with apples has more to do with England. Like many popular dishes, charlotte has several versions of its origin. My favorite is the romantic love story of an English cook who falls in love with a girl with the beautiful name Charlotte. To win her heart, he came up with a very tasty dessert and gave it the name of his beloved. And yet, according to most culinary specialists, the name of the dessert comes from the English charlyt, which means a dish made from beaten eggs, milk and sugar. Charlotte was prepared as a cold dessert from slices of bread soaked in syrup, butter, eggs with milk and even wine, which were placed in a special form and alternated with fruit.
Later, at the beginning of the 19th century, the French chef Marie Antoine Carême came up with a new dessert called Russian charlotte - Charlotte Russe. Instead of bread, he lined the mold with savoiardi cookies, and filled the middle with Bavarian cream with gelatin. The interesting thing is that this dessert was most liked not in Russia, but in America.
And in Russia, over time, this pie turned into a biscuit pie with apples. Classic charlotte with apples is one of the most popular pies. More than one generation has grown up with it; I started making this pie myself when I was 10-12 years old. Its popularity is explained by the availability of products, because apples, eggs and flour were in our kitchen even in times of shortage. During this time, a lot of charlotte recipes have been invented, each housewife adds her own “zest” to this recipe. But no matter what recipe we cook with, the result is almost always excellent.

How to decorate a pie with apple roses
Bring water to a boil in a frying pan and add a little sugar. When the sugar begins to caramelize, add apple slices to the pan.
Simmer the apples over low heat for about 3 minutes, first on one side and then turn over. The apples will become soft, and then you can easily form roses out of them.
To do this, place the apple slices tightly one next to the other, rolling them into a flower. You can fasten the bottom with a toothpick and secure it to a charlotte.
Using a brush, coat the top of the charlotte with the syrup remaining in the pan.
