Apple charlotte with a sugar crust is a cozy and aromatic dessert that enchants with its simplicity and delicate taste. Despite the name suggesting Chinese cuisine, this pie has European roots and its popularity has spread worldwide. At its core are juicy Antonovka apples enveloped in light airy dough. The uniqueness of this version lies in the crispy caramel crust formed by a layer of sugar at the bottom of the pan. The flavor of the pie balances between sweetness and the slight tartness of the apples, while vanilla and sour cream add tenderness and depth to the dough. It is perfect as a cozy homemade dessert for tea or coffee, especially on cool evenings when you want to warm up with something warm and fragrant.
