Bulgarian apple pie that is tastier than charlotte

Apple pies will always be in season because fruit for this dessert can be bought at any time of the year. And their price is reasonable. This pastry is popular not only in Ukraine but also in Bulgaria. Instead of the classic charlotte, they make a pie the ingredients for which need to be grated in layers. The texture is very juicy.
