"Charlotte"
8 servings
40 minutes
Charlotte is a refined dessert with European roots, particularly popular in Russian cuisine. Its history dates back to the 19th century when French chef Marie-Antoine Carême created this airy pie. The modern version of charlotte is a delicate apple pie with a golden crust, where apples are soaked in sweet, fragrant batter creating a soft, juicy texture. The taste of this dessert is a harmonious blend of sweetness and slight tartness complemented by the warm spicy aroma of cinnamon and vanilla. Charlotte is perfect as a cozy home treat or an elegant finish to a festive dinner, especially on chilly autumn evenings. It can be served hot or chilled and pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or light cream.
