Fried Apple Charlotte with Cinnamon and Powdered Sugar
No oven, but craving charlotte? Bake it in a skillet — it works! Whoever invented the slow cooker was a genius, and whoever first tried baking a sponge cake in a skillet on the stovetop was a bold, daring cook. Today I gave it a try, and you know what — it turned out great! Now I know for sure there's no such thing as a hopeless situation.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Gather the main ingredients.
-
Step 2:
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the sugar.
-
Step 3:
Whisk together.
-
Step 4:
Sift in the flour.
-
Step 5:
Add it to the egg mixture a little at a time, stirring as you go.
-
Step 6:
Add the baking soda, then the vinegar separately. The soda reacts as you mix and bake, giving you a light, airy batter. If you react the soda separately beforehand, some of the carbon dioxide escapes into the air and the batter won't rise as well.
-
Step 7:
Stir the batter until smooth.
-
Step 8:
Peel the apples.
-
Step 9:
Cut them into cubes and toss with the powdered sugar and cinnamon.
-
Step 10:
Add the apples to the batter.
-
Step 11:
Fold to combine.
-
Step 12:
Grease a heavy skillet with oil.
-
Step 13:
Pour in the batter. Set the skillet over low heat and cover it tightly with a lid. For extra top heat you can lay a couple of kitchen towels over the lid — but only on an electric range; with a gas burner it's safer not to risk it.
-
Step 14:
Keep an eye on it and test with a toothpick. If the bottom is browned but the top is still a little wet, pull the skillet off the heat and wrap it up — the residual heat will finish the top.
-
Step 15:
Let it cool, dust with powdered sugar, and enjoy with a cup of tea.
- Enjoy!
