Charlotte Quick Recipes - General Cooking Principles
• Charlotte, in fact, is an ordinary biscuit with fruit. In the classic version it is cooked only with apples, but if desired, they are completely interchangeable with other fruits. Some chefs prepare such a pie, even with berries. It is important that the fruits or berries are not too juicy, as this may interfere with the raising of the biscuit dough.
• Quick dough for charlotte is made not only on eggs with sugar, as in the classic version of the pie. Increasingly, there are recipes of charlottes on sour cream, kefir, milk, they add semolina, starch, butter or margarine, spices.
• Charlotte dough is never mixed with a thick consistency. On the contrary, the dough must be flowing, so that each apple slice enveloped them. Usually, apples are used as a layer, the fruit pieces are laid out on the bottom of the mold or on top of the dough poured into it. Often, apples and dough lay out layers, placing the pieces of fruit in the middle. The simplest form of charlotte formation: mix fruit with dough.
• Usually the charlotte is baked in the oven when heated to 180 degrees. Form with a pie set in a well-heated cabinet, placed on the grill or baking sheet.

If the diameter of the pan is more than 25 cm, it is not necessary to turn the charlotte over.
