Ingredients

Apples (medium size) – 3-4 pcs.
Eggs – 5 pcs.
Sugar – 1 glass
Wheat flour – 1 cup (150 g)
Salt – 1 pinch
Ground cinnamon (optional) – 4 pinches
Butter (for greasing the mold) – 30 g
Powdered sugar (to decorate charlotte) – to taste

Instructions

Quarter the apples, remove the seeds, then slice into thin pieces.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully—avoid any yolk in the whites. Use clean, dry bowls.
Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt for 5-6 minutes until stiff peaks form.
Add sugar to the beaten whites and beat for 1 minute.
Add the egg yolks and beat for 1 minute.
Fold the sifted flour into the egg mixture on low speed for 2 minutes or by hand with a spatula.
Grease a 20 cm (8 inch) baking dish with butter and pour half the batter into it.
Arrange apple slices evenly on the batter and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
Pour the remaining batter over the apples.
Place in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) and bake for 25 minutes without opening the door for the first 15-20 minutes.
Let the charlotte cool in the oven to prevent it from collapsing.
Dust with powdered sugar, cut into pieces, and serve with tea or coffee.

Bon Appetit!
