We place the most delicious apple pie - charlotte - in the oven for 40 minutes, while it is necessary to set the temperature to 180 degrees. Dessert is baked until a golden crust is pleasant to the eye. Its readiness can be checked with an ordinary fork. Pierce the pie, if the fork remains dry, then it is ready.

For its preparation, it is necessary to carefully soak small pieces of bread or plain white bread in butter. Mix it all with sugar, milk and egg, and then put it at the very bottom of your baking dish.

The simplest and most delicious apple pie is cooked until a characteristic golden color appears. Serve it on the table with ice cream, whipped cream or sweet sauces.
Apple pie
There is a recipe for the most delicious apple pie not only in Russia and England, but also in America. In our country, the name Pai was assigned to it, which in reality is translated from English as "pie".
For this dessert, take the ingredients for the filling and dough. We will prepare the dough from:
- 300 g flour;
- half a pack of butter;
- some water;
- one chicken egg.
But for the filling of such a pie, take:
- 100 g butter;
- a glass of sugar (it is allowed to use equally refined and brown cane);
- three tablespoons of flour;
- seven apples;
- cinnamon to taste.
First knead the dough, and then cool. To do this, wrap in cling film and leave at least an hour in the refrigerator.
Now we take on the filling. Add the melted butter to the flour, mix thoroughly so that there are no lumps left. We add both types of sugar and quite a bit of water there. The mixture should be boiled a little to completely dissolve the sugar, but in no case should it be brought to a boil.
For this pie, apples should be peeled, be sure to remove the core. After cutting them into small slices and mix with the filling.
When it is time to take the dough out of the refrigerator, divide it into two parts. Roll out a layer from one that completely covers the bottom of the baking dish. Put the whole filling on the dough. The remaining dough, rolled out, cut into strips or rolled into small bundles. Put them on top of the filling. An American share is baked in the oven at 200 degrees for at least forty minutes.
Pie from the poet
It is interesting that in Russian cuisine there is a similar recipe, which also bears the name of the famous Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva. According to legend, she cooked it with her sister Anastasia when guests came to them in Tarusa. True, no official evidence about this has been preserved, but it’s nice to consider that today you are preparing a delicious apple pie according to the recipe of Tsvetaeva herself.

- 100 g of sour cream;
- three times more flour;
- half a packet of butter;
- some slaked salt.
The filling will take us:

- standard pack of sour cream;
- 50 g of flour;
- one kilogram of apples (it is believed that for this recipe it is necessary to take an Antonovka).

Tart
Tarte is a very popular variety of apple pie. One of the most famous Tarts is named after the sisters Carolina and Stephanie Tatin, who ran a tavern in a small French settlement called Lamotte-Bevron. They independently invented a recipe for a delicious apple pie, which they treated their guests to.
Interestingly, this recipe appeared due to a mistake made by one of the sisters. Either she forgot to put dough on a baking sheet under the apples, or the apples languishing in caramel, she just burned, or maybe the girl dropped the cake, deciding to serve it without top. As a result, tarte taten today is deservedly considered a classic French dish.
Nowadays, there are many ways to prepare this dessert, which uses not only apples, but also pears and even peaches. If this is your first time changing this “changeling”, you can buy ready-made dough in the store, saving time. You can take both puff and sand.
