Ingredients Needed
- 3 cups peeled and diced apples (about 3 medium apples)
- 1 lime, juiced
- 90g all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 100g brown sugar
- 50g white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How To Make Apple Charlotte Dessert
- Prepare the pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 6½-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray, line it with parchment paper, and spray the parchment paper as well.
- Prepare the apples: Toss the diced apples with lime juice and set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
- Make the batter: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Assemble the cake: Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan, add the apples on top, and finish by spreading the remaining batter over the apples.
- Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and remove from pan: Let the cake cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack. Run a knife around the edges of the springform pan, release the pan, and carefully flip the apple Charlotte onto a plate. Immediately flip the cake onto a serving platter.
Recipe Tips
- Use firm apples: Choose apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp that hold their shape well when baked.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Mix until just combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Line your pan well: Make sure to line the springform pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray for easy removal.
- Check with a toothpick: Bake until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean for the perfect texture.
- Let it cool: Let the cake cool before flipping to avoid it falling apart.
How To Store Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Store leftover Apple Charlotte in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Leftover Apple Charlotte can be frozen for up to 1 month. To freeze, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. To thaw, leave it in the fridge overnight before serving.
