Charlotte without flour

6 servings

30 minutes

Flourless charlotte is an amazingly tender and aromatic dessert rooted in European cuisine. The classic charlotte is traditionally made with a batter, but this version offers an unusual approach—bread is used instead of flour. Slices of baguette soaked in a sugar-egg mixture create an airy and light texture, while juicy apples provide a sweet tartness, filling the bake with fruity freshness. Baking at low temperature gives the crust a golden and crispy finish. This dessert is perfect for cozy family evenings, and its simplicity makes it accessible even for novice cooks. Serve with a cup of tea or light vanilla sauce for complete enjoyment.
