That will spoil the charlotte: 5 common mistakes
Charlotte is a real summer-autumn pie from childhood, which can, of course, be made with various berries and fruits, but the main ingredients are fragrant apples, which are most useful in autumn. Moreover, the pie is very easy to prepare, even the dough, which can often be the main reason for a tasteless treat.
Today, FoodOboz editorial team shares with you the most common mistakes that can ruin even a simple pie like charlotte.
1. Soft and sweet apple varieties
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
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
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.
