Dietary apple charlotte with cottage cheese is a delicate and fragrant treat, perfect for those who watch their diet. Its roots go back to traditional European cuisine, where charlotte became a symbol of home comfort. In this version, classic ingredients are replaced with healthier options: oat flour and stevia instead of sugar, cottage cheese and kefir for lightness. The harmony of sweet apples and soft cheese filling offers a gentle taste with a slight tang, while the pistachio hue adds zest. It can be served as a dessert with tea or coffee, as well as a nutritious breakfast. Due to its simplicity in preparation and natural ingredients, charlotte is an excellent choice for those who appreciate flavor without compromising health.
