Charlotte with apples and pears

Charlotte with apples and pears can add variety to a series of similar ones that are traditionally prepared only with apples. It will seem strange to you, but our version is really different from the classic one! Pears not only add a special, honey-sweet note to the taste of charlotte, but also make its texture more moist and tender. Such a cake is especially good in the company with a glass of good cool milk or even low-fat cream (unless, of course, you are not particularly worried about your figure). In general, charlotte with apples and pears should definitely be cooked, especially since this occupation is simple, untroubled, and therefore very pleasant.

Charlotte with apples and pears - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use either apples or pears alone if you prefer. The flavor will vary slightly, but the texture and baking process remain the same.
Store the charlotte in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 2 months.
Yes, substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or a similar binder for the best texture.
You can use lime juice or a small amount of apple cider vinegar as an alternative to lemon juice for preventing browning.
Yes, chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans, or dried fruit like raisins or cranberries, can be added for extra texture and flavor. Mix them in with the fruit before baking.
Reduce the sugar in the batter or use a natural sweetener like stevia or erythritol. The fruit will also provide natural sweetness.
Yes, reheat individual slices in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 5-10 minutes until warmed through.
Yes, but adjust the baking time accordingly. A smaller pan will require longer baking, while a larger pan may bake faster. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
Serve it warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
It’s best to bake the charlotte first and then freeze it. Freezing unbaked batter may affect the texture and rise of the final dish.
