Charlotte without eggs

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make charlotte without eggs? Prepare your ingredients. I’m writing right away that the dough in this pie is heavy due to honey and the lack of eggs. Therefore, the charlotte will not be as airy as in the classic version. The dough here is not biscuit, but honey.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour boiling water into a bowl. Add sugar, add 1 tbsp. l. honey and vegetable oil. Mix everything thoroughly and quickly. Adjust the amount of sugar and honey to suit your taste. I recommend testing the dough for sweetness before baking.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sift the flour through a fine sieve and add to boiling water. Add baking powder there too.

4. STEP 4

   

   Stir the dough until smooth and free of lumps. It should be quite viscous.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grease a small baking dish (diameter 16-18 cm) with butter and sprinkle with semolina.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash the apple well, dry it, remove seeds and cut into slices. If you wish, you can also peel the apple.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place apple slices on the bottom of the baking dish, stacking them on top of each other.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the dough over the apples and smooth the surface. Bake the charlotte in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 35 minutes. Determine the exact time based on your oven model. Mine is electric. In yours, you may have to bake longer or, conversely, less. To avoid burning, you can cover the top of the pan with a sheet of foil.

9. STEP 9

   

   Transfer the finished charlotte to a dish, brush the top with the remaining honey, cut into pieces and serve. I also sprinkled it with powdered sugar for beauty. The charlotte gets a crispy crust, but inside it is moist because of the apples.

I haven’t baked charlotte without eggs yet, I’ll try it. I was also surprised by the recipe - charlotte in a frying pan. Discovery for me!

I prepared the charlotte according to the recipe. I really liked it. It was delicious. The only thing I baked was simply with milk. I whisked 1 cup of milk with a glass of sugar. I added flour. I mixed everything. I added finely chopped apples to the dough itself. The charlotte was a success.

Hello Maria . I decided to bake charlotte. When adding flour I got a very thick dough. I replaced the sugar with 50 grams of honey, as written. Everything else is exactly according to the recipe. In the video recipe, it seems to me there is more sugar than 2 tbsp, maybe that’s why the dough is viscous. In general, my charlotte was not a success.

Time and ingredients are wasted, the result is a tight dough, the pie (or whatever you want to call it) is raw inside, burns on top, and is not sweet. Without eggs, the dough should still rise: if there is baking powder or soda, it will DEFINITELY rise. I often bake according to different recipes on this site, but this is the first time.

Yes, I didn’t “make friends” with this charlotte right away. The consistency of the dough also turns out to be thicker than in the video recipe. The charlotte was truly a success when I adjusted the baking mode. The time and temperature indicated in any recipe are not mandatory regulations, and everyone should always take this into account. You should always rely on your experience and knowledge of how the oven works. I baked for 20 minutes at 180C, then reduced to 160C and baked for another 20-25 minutes. To prevent the dough from drying out, cover it with one layer of foil. That's the only way it was baked. But inside, of course, it will be moist from the juiciness of the apples.
