Charlotte with delicate sponge and crispy crust is a classic European dessert that delights with its light, airy dough and rich apple flavor. The origins of this recipe date back to the 18th century when the French used it as an exquisite way to prepare fruit pie. The main feature of charlotte is its simplicity: eggs are whipped with sugar to a light foam, then flour is gently folded in, and apples placed at the bottom of the mold caramelize, infusing the dough with their aroma. The result is a soft, sweet but not overly sweet dessert with a tender texture and golden crust. It is often served warm, dusted with powdered sugar, and sometimes complemented by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to enhance its cozy sweetness.
