Sponge cake with baking powder
Description
This pie has always "loved" plenty of apples. The presented recipe includes baking powder, which makes the charlotte softer and fluffier. Otherwise, the ingredients are almost unchanged, and apples, of course, remain the main component. This is not quite the classic recipe for an apple sweet pie, and I'll explain the difference further. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.

5. Use a more tart variety of apples, as they pair better with the sweet dough. Peel them and slice into thin half-rings. The dough should have the consistency of thick sour cream (this is important for this recipe).
