Better than charlotte: what dough to choose for a delicious apple pie
A traditional pie made with apples is charlotte. The dough has a delicate texture and the filling is juicy. But if you like crispy pastries, the best option would be to make an apple pie with shortcrust pastry. The technology is extremely simple.
