Lush charlotte with apples on kefir in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a fluffy charlotte with apples on kefir? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Choose sweet and sour or sweet varieties of apples. Sugar can be adjusted up or down depending on the acidity or sweetness of the apples and taste preference. First sift the flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen. This will make the finished pie more fluffy.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a separate glass, mix kefir warmed to room temperature with soda and leave for 1-2 minutes. In a fermented milk environment, soda will react quickly. The kefir will begin to foam and increase slightly in volume.

3. STEP 3

   

   To prepare the dough, lightly beat the eggs with sugar. There is no need to beat vigorously. It is enough for everything to mix well and begin to turn into foam. Wash the eggs first, as they may contain harmful bacteria.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour kefir and soda into the eggs and mix. When mixing, you will notice that the entire mass is covered with bubbles. Due to this, the dough will rise well when baking. You will learn the features of baking made with soda by reading the article. The link is at the end of this recipe, under the steps.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add flour and knead the dough until smooth, so that there are no lumps of flour left. You can use a mixer for this. Remember that you may need less or more flour, you can read more about this in the article, the link to it is at the end of the recipe.

6. STEP 6

   

   The finished dough is quite thick. The consistency is similar to pancake batter.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash the apples and cut into large pieces. I leave the peel. If desired, it can be cut off.

8. STEP 8

   

   It is convenient to use a springform pan for baking. Line a baking pan (18 cm in diameter) with parchment paper and pour out 2/3 of the dough. Place prepared apples over the entire surface of the dough. If desired, apples can be sprinkled with a small amount of cinnamon.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the remaining batter over the apples. Place the pan in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes. The exact time depends on the oven itself, so to determine the baking time and temperature, I recommend reading an article on this topic. There is a link to it at the end of this recipe. The cake should become a delicious golden color.

10. STEP 10

    

    You can check the readiness of the pie with a wooden skewer. Pierce the cake with it and immediately pull it out. If it is dry, then the cake is ready.

11. STEP 11

    

    Remove the finished pie from the pan and cool slightly. You can sprinkle it with powdered sugar.

12. STEP 12

    

    Enjoy your tea!

I really liked the recipe! It only takes 7 minutes before you put it in the oven! I don’t peel apples either, it tastes better to me. Even a five-year-old child managed it the second time :) Everything is taken into account: fast, tasty, fluffy, low in calories, bakes evenly. The only thing is that it turns out more fluffy when you add soda at a later stage. You can see this from the photo. Thank you for the recipe, we bake often now, and we are waiting for our apples to harvest.

A quick and simple recipe, the charlotte turns out very tasty. I add vanillin. A good decision to take away some of the country apples! Kefir makes the dough more tender.

I’m delighted, the dough is simply amazing, and it became so fluffy in the oven, it’s just lovely! The only thing is that I took the wrong apples, they turned out to be too sour, which is why the top is sour :(I, on the contrary, hoped that it was the sourness for me it will be to your liking, but it turned out... wow, not the way I wanted, the recipe is easy and very fast! counting the time that I spent on cutting the apples, no more than 8 minutes passed, anyone can definitely cook this, I’m sure (my mother is on vacation, so I baked it alone while no one was home and everything turned out delicious, although this was the first time I’d heard about such a baked goods as “charlotte”) of course, I messed up the oven a little... but that’s the oven’s fault, if it had been electric gas, then the apples on top would not be burnt, but would rather have a light caramel blush. The recipe is gorgeous! Thanks for it

An excellent and not complicated charlotte recipe! That case when everything coincided: tasty, simple, and beautiful at the same time! I added frozen apples to the dough, and placed fresh apple slices on top for beauty.
