Ulyana started helping me, probably, from the age of one and a half. She still didn’t really know how to talk, and already from a culinary bag with an asterisk nozzle she planted Viennese cookies on a baking sheet. She knows that if I make a biscuit, then it will have to be soaked in syrup, and she is already ready with a brush. And most recently, she herself made her first charlotte for dad. Then we ate it all together before going to bed, drinking milk.

How to cook Charlotte with apples from Ulyanka

Step 1

Peel the apples by removing the core. Cut the pulp into cubes, sprinkle with 1.5 tbsp. l. lemon juice and refrigerate.

Step 2

Grease a cake tin with a diameter of 24-26 cm with a thin layer of butter and sprinkle with flour.

Step 3

In a deep bowl, beat eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar for 10 minutes. The mass should double in size, become light and airy. The secret of the right charlotte, like any biscuit, is in a long whipping.

Step 4

Sift the flour, extinguish the soda with the remaining lemon juice and add to the flour, add cinnamon there. Gently mix everything with a spatula, trying to prevent the air mass from settling.

Step 5

Pour the prepared apples into the dough, mix. You can vary the number of apples at your discretion, but I like it when there are a lot of them. Even if it seems that the dough has just been able to cover all the fruits, do not worry - the biscuit will rise well in the oven.

Step 6

Put the finished dough into a mold, level it and put it in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 30–40 minutes. Check readiness with a wooden skewer - it should come out completely dry. Let the finished charlotte cool completely in the form, and then take it out and put it on a dish. You can sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
