When a lot of apples appear in our house, the question of where to put them does not arise. There are many dishes that can be cooked with this fruit, especially for baking. The most popular apple pie is, of course, charlotte. Cooking it is easy, fast, and even the most sophisticated dessert will not compare to its taste. In general, everything ingenious is simple. And what if, instead of apples, you have "piled" pears? Yes, all the same, because these fruits are very similar! For those who do not know how to cook charlotte with pears, a recipe with a detailed description will come in handy. The main thing is to choose ripe, juicy fruits, otherwise the cake will turn out to be rather dry.
What ingredients do we need? Charlotte with pears is practically no different from the classic, only apples are replaced. Per kilogram of fruit we take:
- butter - 250 grams;
- sugar - 200 grams;
- flour - 400 grams;
- eggs –5 pieces;
- baking powder - sachet;
- vanillin, cinnamon - to taste.
Cooking is very simple. The oil should be soft, room temperature. Beat it with sugar, then introduce the eggs one at a time and mix thoroughly. It is best to use a mixer, then the mass will turn out to be more airy, and the pie - tender. Combine the sifted flour with baking powder, cinnamon and vanilla and mix in the butter-egg mixture.
Now we take up the pears: wash and clean, remove the middle, cut into slices (or cubes, as you like). We connect the sliced fruits with the dough so that they are evenly distributed throughout the mass. By the way, if desired, part of the pears can be replaced with apples (in a 1: 1 ratio).
We take a baking dish with a diameter of 24-27 mm, spread it with parchment and grease it with oil. If you want a crispy caramel crust, sprinkle the bottom of the mold with sugar. We pour the dough into the dishes and put in the oven for 50 minutes. It needs to be preheated to 170 degrees.
That’s ready Charlotte with pears. The recipe will appeal to those who do not like to stand by the stove for a long time, but love homemade cakes. Flip the cake on a flat dish, sprinkle with almond flakes and pour caramel. Serve with a scoop of ice cream. The perfect homemade dessert!
Do you know that charlotte with pears in a slow cooker is even easier? In addition, it can be made less caloric, as in the recipe we will not use butter. So, we take 5 eggs, we separate proteins and yolks. Mix them individually with sugar (100 grams per mass). Sift 140 grams of flour, combine it with a bag of vanillin, add a spoonful of cocoa powder for color and taste. We combine the yolks with the flour mixture, carefully interfere with the whipped whites.
Pears (4-5 pieces) are cut into thin slices. In a multicooker bowl, lay out part of the dough, then a layer of pears, then dough again. How much charlotte with pears is prepared? Recipe for a slow cooker takes more time. Initially, set the "Baking" mode for an hour, and if necessary, add another 20 minutes. Cool the prepared charlotte a little and take it to the dish. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon. We have low-calorie chocolate charlotte with pears.
The recipe for this cake is simple, whatever option - first or second - you choose. By the way, it will turn out very tasty if you "dilute" the taste of a pear with some sour berries. It can be lingonberry, cherry (only remove seeds beforehand) or red currant. Do not be afraid to experiment. Enjoy your meal!
