One of the variants of the popular apple pie – charlotte on sour cream will help you out in a “guests on the doorstep” situation. Baking is lush, with a golden crust and apple flavor.
For cooking, you will need very little time and simple products that you can always find in the house. For charlotte, juicy apples of sour varieties with a thin skin are preferred. Sour cream can be of any fat content. For a more delicate structure, part of the flour can be replaced with corn starch. The amount of sugar can be adjusted to taste. For flavor, you can add vanilla, citrus zest, cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg to the dough. To bake a cake, use a silicone, metal mold or just a frying pan.
