Charlotte (simple recipe)

Description

The baking is simple and quick. To prevent the apples from darkening and give them a pleasant aroma, spray them with lemon juice. Firm, slightly tart apples are best for the cake. If you prefer very sweet baked goods, sprinkle the apples with sugar. Serve the charlotte decorated with fresh berries, sliced fruits, and a scoop of ice cream. Serve the charlotte still warm, or slightly warm after cooling down.
