Charlotte with sour cream dough

Sour cream charlotte is a delicate and airy pie infused with the aroma of baked apples. Originating from German cuisine, it was initially created as a way to use stale bread but has evolved into a sweet pastry that has become a beloved homemade dessert. The sour cream dough gives the charlotte a special softness and a light tang that perfectly complements the sweetness of the apples. This pie pairs wonderfully with tea or coffee and often becomes a cozy addition to family evenings. Its simplicity makes it accessible even for culinary beginners: whisk eggs with sugar and sour cream, add flour and baking powder, pour over the apples, and bake in the oven. In 20-30 minutes, the charlotte is ready – fragrant, golden, and tender.
