What apple variety makes the most delicious charlotte

Today FoodOboz editorial team will tell you the secrets that will help you make a delicious and flavorful charlotte with a crust.

Tips for a delicious charlotte

1. Sweet and sour apples of hard varieties are ideal for charlotte, such as Granny Smith or Antonivka. Sweet ones will not work because they will make the dish too sweet, while sour varieties turn into porridge and don't hold their shape, giving off excess moisture.
2. Apples do not need to be peeled. You can cut the apples with the skin into large cubes so that every piece of fruit is dipped in batter. If they are peeled and cut into thin slices, the texture of the charlotte will be dense.
3. It is better to caramelize the apples. To do this, fry the pieces of fruit in a pan with sugar and butter.
4. You can use a lot of sugar to create an appetizing crispy crust.
5. Vanilla or spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg will add flavor.
