Charlotte in a pan with apples

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake charlotte in a frying pan with apples? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take large eggs, category CO. Use a pie pan with a thick bottom and non-stick coating. Apples may simply stick to a cast iron or thin pan. Therefore, before preparing such a charlotte, think about what kind of pan you will cook it in, so that later you don’t have to tear the pie off the pan. The cake will not stick to a good frying pan.

2. STEP 2

   

   Combine the eggs with sugar and beat with a mixer until a fluffy light mass is obtained. The mixture does not need to be beaten for longer than 4 minutes, otherwise you may overbeat the eggs and the sponge cake will not rise. Many small bubbles should appear on the surface of the mixture. You can add a little less sugar if you are afraid that the pie will turn out too sweet.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sift the flour with baking powder and add to the dough. Use the highest quality flour.

4. STEP 4

   

   Mix everything with a mixer until smooth at low speed. You may need a little more flour, so check the consistency of your dough. It should be fluid, slightly viscous and flow from the whisk in a wide ribbon.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the apples, cut them in half, dry them and remove the core and seeds. If the skin is tough, peel that too. Cut the prepared apples into not very thin slices. To prevent the charlotte from turning out too sugary, it is better to use sweet and sour varieties of apples with green skin. Semerinka and Granny Smith varieties are ideal. The tart apples provide a nice contrast to the sweet dough.

6. STEP 6

   

   Generously grease the bottom and walls of the frying pan with butter and vegetable oil. If there is not enough oil, the charlotte may slightly stick to the frying pan. Therefore, do not skimp on butter. It should lie on the bottom in small pieces. The dough will absorb all the excess. It is better to take the diameter of the frying pan not very small so that the dough is baked evenly. My frying pan diameter is 26 cm.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place apple slices in the pan.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the biscuit dough evenly on top.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the pan over medium heat and cover with a lid.

10. STEP 10

    

    Fry the charlotte for about 10-15 minutes, periodically moving a spatula between the dough and the walls of the pan to prevent the dough from sticking.

11. STEP 11

    

    When the dough on top has set well (it should be elastic), use two spatulas to turn the charlotte over. Cover the pan again and continue cooking the pie for about 7-10 minutes. Make sure that the bottom of the pie does not burn. You can reduce the heat to low.

12. STEP 12

    

    Transfer the finished charlotte to a dish and cut into pieces. Bon appetit!

Today I surprised my family with charlotte in a frying pan with apples. I was attracted to this recipe by its unusual cooking method. Pie in a frying pan - I couldn’t even imagine this! But it turned out that everything is simple! I took the ingredients in the quantities indicated. I kneaded the dough. I greased the pan thoroughly with butter, placed apple slices on top and filled everything with dough. I turned on the burner under the frying pan to low heat and let it sit for 15 minutes under the lid. When the dough had risen and lost its shine, the raw dough carefully lifted the cake with a spatula and saw that it had acquired a beautiful color. At this stage, I turned the pie over and let it sit on the fire under the lid for another 10 minutes. It turned out to be a delicious charlotte. The dough is airy, soft, you can feel that it has absorbed the butter that was used to grease the frying pan. I’m taking this recipe into service! Thanks to the author!

A wonderful recipe for charlotte in a frying pan!!! I didn’t even expect such a turn - bake... rather fry the charlotte! This recipe is a lifesaver in hot weather and when there is no oven. It seems to me that now you can not be afraid and cook it over the fire! Very good advice about baking soda, I'll let you know! Thank you very much for the recipe and tips!!!
