Spiced charlotte

Perhaps charlotte is the most popular apple pie! The simplest ingredients turn into an incredible symphony of flavor. We offer an updated recipe with a light nutty note of rum and spices.

INGREDIENTS

Green apples – 5 (peel, core, and cut into medium pieces) Soft butter – 130 g + 50 g Brown sugar – 225 g + 50 g Rum – 50 ml Nutmeg – ½ tsp Ground cinnamon – 1 tsp Flour – 270 g (sifted) Eggs – 2 Milk – 180 g Sugar with natural vanilla – 10 g Baking powder – 2 tsp Powdered sugar Mint for garnish Ice cream for serving

Melt the butter (50 g), add the sugar (50 g), and mix. Then add the apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and mix. Pour in the rum and simmer over medium heat for 10–12 min.

Beat the butter (130 g) with the sugar (225 g), add the eggs one at a time. Pour in the milk and mix. Gradually add the flour. Mix until smooth. Add the baking powder and vanilla sugar and mix.

Grease the frying pan with cold butter and dust with flour. Pour in the batter, spread it out, and top with the filling. Bake for 40–50 min at 160°C.

Serve with a scoop of ice cream, sprinkled with powdered sugar and garnished with mint leaves.

P.S.: Charlotte is best served warm, as the aroma of the spices is more pronounced.
