Choose firm apples for this pie that will not turn to mush during cooking.

2. Flour

It should be of the highest quality, of a pleasant white color, and most importantly, it should be sifted once or even twice, so it is saturated with oxygen.

3. Eggs

Use eggs at room temperature

It is best to use room-temperature eggs, add sugar, and beat everything into a thick foam. It is very important to do everything right here because the structure and fluffiness of the cake depends on it.

4. Soda

Do not use this ingredient for making charlotte, as it will spoil its taste and smell.

5. Cinnamon

Cinnamon will add spice

This ingredient is a must-have, as it will give the apples a very spicy flavor.

Another important point is that the pie should be baked at 180 C for about 30 minutes, and the pie should be placed in a preheated oven.
