Lean Charlotte with apples. Recipe
Pound a half cup of sugar and a half cup of vegetable oil. Fruits need to be peeled and finely chopped. Lean charlotte with apples will be more tender if you take slightly sour and juicy fruits. Strongly starchy or hard fruits will not work, their pieces will feel like foreign inclusions in the dough. Add a glass of finely crushed walnut kernels with apples to butter and sugar, put a few tablespoons of jam, pour a glass of strong tea leaves, pour a tablespoon of soda, two and a half glasses of flour. Place the prepared dough in the crock-pot of the multicooker and, having turned on the “Baking” mode for an hour and a half, leave to bake. Fresh lean charlotte with apples has a rather sticky and unpleasant texture (it does not affect its taste), therefore, it is better to cut and serve it after it has cooled sufficiently.
Charlotte with a fruit layer
The dough for this baking is similar to the one we used in the previous recipe. But this lean charlotte with apples is different in that the fruits are not mixed with other ingredients, but laid out in a separate layer. In order for this layer to keep its shape, the fruits must first be prepared by extinguishing them with the addition of starch. Slice two apples. Sprinkle with a little sugar and a spoonful of starch. Boil until jammed in a saucepan. At the end, add a spoonful of spice mixture for gingerbread or mulled wine to the filling. Prepare the dough from two ordinary glasses of sifted wheat flour, a package of baking powder, three tablespoons of vegetable oil and a glass of sugar. Pour the resulting mixture with half a glass of strong coffee or tea, add a little jam and chopped nuts to taste. This lean charlotte with apples can also be cooked with butter, in which case it can be eaten on ordinary days when there is no need to fast. Divide the thick dough into two parts, put half in the baking dish in the oven or in the multicooker bowl. Apples must be placed on top. Sprinkle the final layer of dough with sugar (you can also add shtrezel from flour and sugar, if you like its taste). Cook from one hour.
Lean pastries with apples and carrots
A very interesting pie will turn out if you replace the flour with slightly dried rye bread. It will look a bit like an English traditional crumble and have a unique crisp. Take 350 g of carrots and bread, add five small peeled apples, a glass of sugar, a spoonful of cinnamon and five large tablespoons of vegetable oil. Hand-ground bread, mix with grated and butter-stewed carrots, as well as finely chopped fruits. Add cinnamon and sugar, bake for half an hour, sprinkle the finished product with powdered sugar.
