Charlotte with quince and apple
Description
The pastry is prepared simply and quickly. The charlotte is very easy to make. You just need to beat the eggs well. Fresh quince is not very edible. It must be subjected to heat treatment before consumption. Therefore, it is very convenient to make the charlotte with quince jam. I do not recommend adding a lot of apples, so the pastry does not become soggy. It can be served with tea or coffee.

Preheat the oven to 170‑175 °C. Bake the charlotte for 45‑50 minutes. Check doneness with a wooden skewer. When inserted into the center of the cake, it should come out dry. To prevent the charlotte from collapsing after you remove it from the oven, do the following. Turn the pan upside down and place it on three glasses or cups. Keep the cake in this position until fully cooled.
