40 minutes

Apple charlotte in a pan is a simple yet incredibly fragrant dessert that originates from European cuisine. Its history traces back to the classic French pie 'Charlotte,' adapted for quick preparation. The delicate sponge cake soaked in apple sweetness creates a perfect blend of lightness and juiciness. The slight tartness of fresh apples complements the soft sweetness, while butter adds richness to the flavor. This treat is perfect for cozy tea times or unexpected guest visits since it’s easy to make without needing an oven. The pan method helps retain the natural moisture of the batter, making it especially soft. It can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a light sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance the flavor notes.
