Step 1
1. To make the charlotte, use pears and apples (firm and crisp) so that the pieces don't turn into mush after baking. You don't need to peel the pears, as they can become too soft after baking, and the skin will help them hold their shape. Peel the apples, as their skin will remain tough regardless. Cut all the ingredients into small pieces so they look appealing.
