Charlotte with tangerines and apples in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake charlotte with tangerines and apples? Measure out the required ingredients. Take large eggs. Vanilla sugar can be replaced with vanillin. Any apples will do, but it’s the sweet and sour ones that will balance the sweet taste of the pie. I have medium sized fruits.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve to enrich it with oxygen. Thanks to this, the dough will be more fluffy and airy and the charlotte will rise well during baking.

3. STEP 3

   

   It is better to peel tangerines in advance so as not to waste time on this after preparing the dough. Wash the tangerines and peel them. Divide the citrus fruits into wedges, removing any white veins if possible.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a suitable sized bowl, combine eggs with sugar, salt and vanilla sugar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Beat everything at high speed with a mixer until light and fluffy. There should be visible traces of the beaters on the surface of the egg mass, this usually takes 5-7 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add sifted flour to the resulting mass in small portions. You can pour it again through the sieve.

7. STEP 7

   

   Using a gentle scooping motion with a spatula, fold the flour into the dough. Do this carefully so that the dough does not lose its airiness. But this does not need to be done for long.

8. STEP 8

   

   Gradually add all the flour to the dough. The dough turns out fluffy and homogeneous.

9. STEP 9

   

   Wash the apples and dry them. Peel the core; if desired, the skin can also be peeled. Cut the apples into medium cubes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Line the bottom of a baking dish (I took a 22 cm diameter) with parchment. If necessary, grease the parchment with oil. There is no need to grease the walls of the mold. Place 1/3 of the dough on the bottom of the pan and smooth it out carefully.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place half of the prepared fruit evenly onto the dough.

12. STEP 12

    

    Carefully spread the second third of the dough onto the fruit.

13. STEP 13

    

    Then add the rest of the fruit.

14. STEP 14

    

    Pour in the remaining dough and smooth it out carefully.

15. STEP 15

    

    Bake the charlotte in an oven preheated to 180C for about 40 minutes until golden brown. Do not open the oven for the first 25 minutes to prevent the cake from settling due to temperature changes. Check the readiness of the charlotte with a wooden skewer. If it comes out dry from the middle of the pie, without traces of dough, then the charlotte is ready. Leave it in the turned off oven for another 15 minutes, then remove it.

16. STEP 16

    

    Cut the charlotte with tangerines and apples into portions and serve. Enjoy your tea!

Charlotte with tangerines and apples in the oven according to this recipe turned out very fluffy and airy. I chose a small pan to make the cake tall. I alternated the dough and filling as written in the recipe. For the filling I used sweet apples and tangerines with thin films. I cut the tangerine slices so that the pieces were approximately the same size as the apples. My charlotte was baked for forty minutes. I added a little lemon juice to the dough for more flavor. We liked the charlotte, it’s tasty and soft. The apple pieces are sweet and add juiciness, but the tangerines are slightly sour, but this even adds zest to the pie) Wonderful pie!
