Servings: 6

Cooking time: 1 hour

• 
  Break 3 eggs into a deep bowl and add 150 grams of granulated sugar to them. To make our cake tender and airy, you need to beat the contents of the bowl well with a blender. Beat for about 3-5 minutes for the eggs to approximately double in size. The better you beat them, the higher the biscuit will rise.
• 
  Sift the flour into a separate bowl using a sieve (now there are very convenient sieve mugs for this purpose, which take up little space and sift flour very quickly, and there is much less dirt after using them than after a regular sieve). Gently pour the flour into a bowl over the beaten eggs. Stir the dough thoroughly until it becomes a homogeneous consistency.
• 
  Rinse the apples well under running water. Then dry them a little, remove the core, cut in half and cut each half into thin strips or small cubes. Skinning apples or not is a matter of taste. But it is still preferable to remove it. Mix the apples gently into the dough.
• 
  Turn the oven to 190 degrees and while it is heating, prepare the baking dish. It is better to take a fairly deep form, because the charlotte rises very well, increasing significantly in size. Lubricate the mold with a little butter and pour the future charlotte into it. Place the cake in the oven for about 45-55 minutes (cooking times can vary significantly depending on your oven). Use a toothpick to find out whether the pie is ready or not. Pierce the pie, and then take out a toothpick - if there is no sticky dough left on it, then the pie is ready.

How to cook charlotte in the oven without eggs

Do you like apple charlotte, but there were no eggs in the fridge? No problem! Try our recipe for egg-free charlotte and you will see that it tastes almost the same as the traditional recipe. Treat yourself and your family with a delicious fruit pie.

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour - 300-350 g
• Sugar sand - 150 g
• Baking soda - ½ tsp.
• Kefir - 200 ml
• Semolina - 180 g
• Apples - 4-5 pcs.
• Vegetable oil - 100 ml
• Vanilla sugar - 1 tbsp l.

Cooking process:

1. Pour the semolina with kefir, stir with a spoon and let it brew for 10-15 minutes until the cereal swells.
2. While the semolina is soaking, wash the apples (it is better to take more sour varieties), peel them and remove the core. This can be done both with a knife and with a special device for apples. Cut the peeled apples into thin slices or small cubes (the cutting option is not important - as you like). To prevent the apples from darkening, you can sprinkle them with a few tablespoons of lemon juice.
3. By this time, the semolina should already increase in size, this is what we need. Add 150 grams of sugar to the semolina with kefir (if you are not a fan of sweet pies, the amount of sugar can be reduced to 100-120 grams). Pour in 100 milliliters of vegetable oil, add vanilla sugar and mix well with a whisk.
4. Sift the flour into a separate bowl. It is imperative to sift, since our charlotte is without eggs and it needs to be properly saturated with oxygen for the dough to rise.
5. Gradually add flour to the dough, making sure to stir constantly. It may turn out that you need even less flour than indicated in the recipe. Or it may turn out that, on the contrary, more flour will go away than the specified amount in the ingredients.
6. Quench the baking soda with a small amount of vinegar and add to the rest of the ingredients, mixing everything thoroughly.
7. It's time to put the oven to preheat to 180 degrees and tackle the baking dish. It needs to be "dressed" in a French shirt - grease the bottom and sides with oil, and then sprinkle with a little flour, so that the cake will not stick to the mold. The owners of silicone baking dishes are more fortunate, they do not need to grease and sprinkle anything additionally - the dough does not stick anyway.
8. It remains only to add the previously prepared apples to the dough, mix them in such a way that the dough completely covers all the fruits. Pour the future pie into a baking dish and place in a preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes.
9. Gently remove the finished cake from the mold onto a wide plate, sprinkle with a small amount of powdered sugar and cut into portions.
