Apples are the perfect base for a variety of sweet pastries. And if you're already bored with traditional charlotte, you can make a fluffy yeast cake. The dough is basic and even beginners can make it.

The idea of making an apple pie with yeast was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Vitalina with the nickname v.vanilinka.
