Charlotte - a delicious classic

Tradition is a tradition, but still the classics are also sometimes very diverse. A recipe for a pie with apples on a quick hand is no exception. There are a lot of classic options for such baking. Get to know one of them. This is charlotte.

Ingredients you will need:

  • wheat flour - one glass;
  • granulated sugar is also a glass;
  • fresh testicles - four pieces;
  • two juicy apples of sweet varieties;
  • lemon;
  • a little butter (they grease the form).

We note the time - it will take no more than 60 minutes - and proceed.

  1. We free the fruits from the hard core (if the skin is thick, you can remove it too), cut into thin slices.
  2. Put in a plate and mix (after we sprinkle with lemon juice, which will not allow to darken).
  3. Beat the testicles in another plate. The more they look like white foam, the better. Therefore, we will use a mixer.
  4. During the process, pour eggs in a thin stream, continuing to beat.
  5. After about ten minutes you should get an airy sugar-egg cream.
  6. Pour flour on it (directly on top) and knead the dough. We do this not in circular motions, and from the bottom up, until the flour “disappears”.
  7. Now we lubricate the mold with oil and “make” something like a sandwich - inside the two layers of dough is apple slicing.
  8. Now we send our charlotte to the oven (which has already gained 180 C). There she will spend from 35 to 40 minutes. And we will not look inside with checks, otherwise the cake will fall off.
  9. After the indicated time, open the door. If the cake is covered with a light golden crust, and raw dough does not stick to the toothpick, then everything is ready.

If you want something not quite ordinary, you can add spices - nutmeg or cinnamon. They set off the taste of apples.

Juicy and sweet

 

Is there a cozy tea party with your family and friends? A pie with apples and cottage cheese will make it even more enjoyable. Cooking does not take much time - only about 50 minutes, and this, together with the period of baking in the oven itself.

The following products will be needed:

  • a pair of apples and eggs;
  • two hundred grams of sugar (in the form of sand);
  • flour two glasses;
  • powdered sugar (you can make it yourself - a coffee grinder to help);
  • cottage cheese (fat content to your taste) - from 100 to 150 grams;
  • a teaspoon of baking powder (baking soda is also suitable);
  • two tables each. tablespoons of sour cream and butter.

What is the procedure?

  1. First, we make cottage cheese “cream”. Pour granulated sugar into a deep bowl, drive eggs into the same bowl. We turn the mixer into airy foam. In it - cottage cheese and sour cream, everything is well interfere.
  2. Combine the flour (it is previously sifted) with soda, all this is sent to the “cream” from the cottage cheese. Carefully mix. The cream as a result turns into a dough.
  3. It is still thick, so we will chop it with melted butter. Our dough should resemble non-liquid sour cream in consistency.
  4. It was the turn of apples. We peel off the peel (you can do it if it is not stiff). Cut into thin, long slices.
  5. The oven has already been fried up to 180 C, so we pour the dough into the mold, spread it beautifully on top of the apple slices. We are going to bake.
  6. After the dessert has cooled, sprinkle it with icing sugar and call the household to drink tea with a juicy treat.

How much a cake will have to reach the standard depends on the model of the oven. This usually lasts from 30 to 40 minutes.

Open puff pastry cake

For dessert, it is quite possible to use purchased puff pastry. With it, the already short cooking time is further reduced. So, take up a quick apple pie without wasting time fussing with flour.

What may come in handy:

  • a pack of store dough (puff);
  • granulated sugar - from 160 to 170 g;
  • ½ teaspoon of cinnamon;
  • sour cream - 100 - 120 g;
  • eggs - two pieces;
  • four to five medium apples (sweet and sour will add a pleasant sourness);
  • 50 to 60 g of sweet butter;
  • flower petals (almond or tea rose) - for decoration.

We will try to act according to plan.

  1. Turn on the oven. We need a temperature of 210 C.
  2. While it is warming, we cut apples. Small and non-thick slices are best.
  3. Melt the butter in a pan. When it floats, pour the apple slices, sweeten it, add cinnamon. Fry for about 10 minutes and do not forget to stir.
  4. Puff pastry (we, as expected, have already thawed it at room temperature) is rolled out. You will need to put it on parchment in a baking sheet.
  5. Above is the place of apples. Now you can move into the oven.
  6. An open apple pie will spend about 20 minutes there. In the meantime, we will be engaged in the creation of the most delicate cream of eggs, sour cream and sugar. You don’t need to do anything special: just beat the listed ingredients with a mixer.
  7. We take out the cake, quickly cover with cream and put it back, for another 10 minutes.

When it cools, you can feast on it.

To melt in your mouth

 

If you knead the sand dough on an apple pie, the product will turn out to be unusually tender and will literally melt in your mouth. For the effect to be just that, you need to know a couple of secrets.

It is interesting: pie with apples

Shortcrust pastry should not be kneaded for too long and thoroughly and overheated in the oven.

Take the following ingredients:

  • margarine (150-200 g);
  • icing sugar (100 - 150 g);
  • lemon;
  • flour (250 - 300 g);
  • nuts (walnuts are best suited): 150 - 200 g;
  • testicle;
  • a bag of sugar (vanilla);
  • apples (a kilogram just right).

We conjure over a “melting” cake.

  1. Sift flour, combine with powdered sugar.
  2. In a sweet substance, we introduce pieces of soft margarine and drive an egg.
  3. Knead everything quickly so that the dough does not have time to absorb the warmth of the hands. If it seems that it turned out to be somewhat harsh, add a little bit of water or milk.
  4. Wrap the finished film. Let him stay a couple of hours in the refrigerator.
  5. During this time, we process all the apples: peel, cut each into eight slices. Put in a bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice.
  6. After apples comes the turn of nuts. Grind the kernels, pass the lemon zest through a grater with small cells, mix it all with vanilla sugar.
  7. We roll out the cold dough in the shape of a baking dish. And also quickly, so as not to heat up. Evenly pierce with a fork. Then you need to sprinkle it with a nut-lemon-sugar mixture.
  8. We cover it all with apples, the next one is again a layer of nuts.
  9. In an oven with a temperature of 200 ° C, our cake will be ready in 25 - 35 minutes (depending on the model of the device).

Favorite Biscuit

Another way to bake apple pie is somewhat similar to the process of creating charlotte. But the recipe is somewhat unusual, and the result is extremely easy and digestible: the biscuit cake will never "press" on the stomach.

To get this, collect the products:

  • 150 - 200 grams of butter (you need cream);
  • 2 - 2.5 cups of sugar sand;
  • 3-4 apples;
  • 2-3 table. tablespoons of rum (cognac is also good);
  • a couple of eggs;
  • 1.5 cups flour;
  • 1 table. a spoon of lemon zest.

Then we go step by step.

  1. Eggs, pulled out of the refrigerator in advance, are turned into a light foam by means of a mixer. Then slowly, in a thin stream, add sugar. Do not turn off the mixer for a couple of minutes. The mixture should double in volume.
  2. Sift flour into it. Slowly, from top to bottom (in no case in a circle), we intervene with careful movements until the egg solution absorbs the flour powder and turns into a homogeneous substance.
  3. We drown the oil in a pan. We fry on it apples that have already been freed from the cores and cut into pieces. After a minute and a half, add half the sweet sand. We mix. After another minute, pour the rest. When the next 60 seconds have passed, take off.
  4. The most interesting touch: we pour apples with rum or cognac and set fire to it. Fruits acquire a fragrant crust, and we have a more piquant taste of biscuit charlotte.
  5. Another unusual aspect: first put apples on the oiled bottom of the torte-monger, and only then fill the dough (in most recipes it comes first).
  6. After 20 - 25 minutes spent in a biscuit in the oven (temperature 180 C), you can get it. Guests will be delighted.

If you want to start treating yourself quickly, mix the fruit with the dough. The process will be greatly simplified, but this will not spoil the overall result.

With delicate filling

 

The filling, which includes not too fat sour cream, makes any baking much more tender and softer. Pie with apples, this also applies. Let's try to cook such a dish according to the recipe below.

For the filling you need these components:

  • five to six apples;
  • 230 - 250 g of sour cream;
  • 100 - 120 g of sugar;
  • 20 - 25 grams of flour (from wheat) and starch (from potato);
  • as much vanilla sugar.

Knead the dough from:

  • 100 - 120 g of butter;
  • 180 - 200 g of flour;
  • fresh chicken testicle;
  • Stacks of water (ice).

We follow the instructions for cooking.

  1. Put cold butter and flour into the food processor. We turn on the pulsation mode (10-15 seconds) and chop into small crumbs.
  2. Pour ice water into it and add the egg. Just a couple of "pulsating" seconds - and the dough is going to a lump. It should be 25 minutes - half an hour to hold in the refrigerator. If there is no such kitchen equipment, you will need to chop everything with a knife in the same sequence. But not with hands. Such a dough does not tolerate their heat.
  3. Mix apples, cut without skin and core, with two types of sugar, sour cream, starch and flour. A filling cake will come out.
  4. We lay the tortoise-tree with parchment, from the cold dough we make a “box”, as for a cupcake.
  5. We fill the “box” with the filling. We put in the oven (heated to 200 C).
  6. 40 - 45 minutes is enough for the cake to be baked.
  7. Cooled we cut in portions, serve vanilla ice-cream to each ball and take well-deserved thanks from the family.

Charlotte in a slow cooker

Since we started with the charlotte recipe, we will end it. Only the oven will not be in the oven, but with the help of a slow cooker. Lovers say that this is the most tender and airy.

For her we need:

  • eggs (small - 5, large enough 3);
  • a glass of granulated sugar and flour powder;
  • a few apples (3-5 fruits anyway, what sort);
  • vanilla, ginger, star anise, cinnamon - to taste, but it is possible without spices at all;
  • powdered sugar (purchased or homemade);

  2. The slow cooker is turned on for “heating”, put the oil inside. When it flows, grease the walls and bottom of the bowl.
  3. Pour a couple of tablespoons of sugar. Mix.
  4. The result is a kind of butter syrup that will make apples "caramelized."
  5. Starting from the edge, we put in it in a spiral, layer by layer, apple slices.
