Ingredients

• Chicken Egg 3 pieces

• Wheat Flour 5 oz
• Activated Baking Soda a pinch
• Meyer Lemon Juice 1 tablespoon
• Apple 3 pieces
• Butter to taste
• Breadcrumbs 0 oz
• Salt a pinch

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Separate the eggs into whites and yolks.

Step 2

Whisk the egg yolks until pale with 1 cup of sugar.

Step 3

Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and whip them separately until fluffy.

Step 4

Gently fold the egg whites into the yolks using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Step 5

Sift the flour and incorporate it into the dough.

Step 6

Dissolve the baking soda with lemon juice and add it to the dough. Mix the dough well again.

Step 7

Slice the apples into thin wedges.

Step 8

Grease the baking dish with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Step 9

Arrange the apple slices in a circle at the bottom of the baking dish.

Step 10

Pour the batter into the mold, gently spreading it over the apples.

Step 11

Bake the charlotte in a preheated oven at 355°F for 45–50 minutes. Check the doneness of the batter with a skewer: if it comes out clean, the charlotte is ready. Allow the finished pie to cool; it will taste better an hour after baking.
