Apple pie according to Liza Hlinska's recipe

Charlotte is a flavorful apple pie with the taste of childhood, which is prepared in an elementary way, but at the same time, you get a delicious treat for tea. It is absolutely light and healthy, as the main ingredient is apples.

MasterChef judge and pastry chef Liza Hlinska shared an easy recipe for an unusual apple charlotte on her YouTube channel, which is very easy to prepare but has an amazing taste and airy texture. (To watch the video, scroll to the end)

Ingredients:

• apples - 6-7 pcs.
• cinnamon - 1/3 tsp.
• flour - 130 g
• sugar for egg whites - 100 g
• sugar for yolks - 60 g
• yolks - 100 g
• proteins - 150 g
• butter - 30 g
• vanilla sugar - a pinch

For the decor:

• powdered sugar - 50 g

Method of preparation:

1. Wash the apples, peel and cut 4 of the 6 into large cubes, and peel and cut 2 for decoration, but into slices.
2. Charlotte sponge cake: Mix the egg yolks with the sugar until they are as stiff as possible – about 10 minutes. Pour the mixture into a separate bowl.
3. Start whipping the whites when the foam appears – add sugar in portions, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
4. Melt the butter, add it to the bowl with the whipped yolks, mix very gently, add the vanilla sugar and whipped whites, and mix so as not to lose lightness.
5. Take a sieve and be sure to add the flour through it, mix very gently, then add the apples to the dough and mix again.
6. Cover the mold with parchment, be sure to grease it with butter and put the dough.
7. Put the apple slices on top, and sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
8. Send to a preheated oven for 50-60 minutes at 180 C. Be sure to cover the cake with foil on top at the 30th minute of cooking so that the apples do not burn, and 10 minutes before the end, remove the foil so that the apples are beautifully browned.
9. The finished cake should cool completely, then remove the mold, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve.
