Intoxicating Charlotte

4 servings

60 minutes

Drunken charlotte is a refined dessert of European cuisine with hints of spice and delicate sweetness. The origins of this dish date back centuries when apples and bread formed the basis of simple yet delicious pies. White dry wine adds a special sophistication by soaking the bread slices in a subtle aroma, while vanilla and cinnamon create a warm spicy bouquet. Tender caramelized apples give the dessert juiciness, and the golden crust of baked bread provides a pleasant texture. This magnificent treat will adorn any feast, perfectly complementing a cup of fragrant tea or coffee. Serve warm to reveal all the flavor nuances.
