Low-calorie charlotte

60 minutes

Low-calorie charlotte is an elegant and light version of the classic apple pie loved by many generations in Europe. Its secret to fluffiness lies in rye flour and low-fat kefir, which make the dough soft and tender while adding a unique flavor. Apples baked in a golden crust provide natural sweetness and pleasant tartness to the pie, while a pinch of cinnamon adds warm spicy notes. This dessert is perfect for those watching their calories but not wanting to give up cozy homemade treats. Charlotte can be served as a standalone delicacy or complemented with a spoonful of yogurt or honey for an exquisite taste.
