Apple charlotte with honey sponge cake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Making this pie doesn't seem difficult to me. You just need to cover the apples with sponge cake batter and bake. But if you use honey cake instead of the regular sponge, the familiar pie's flavor unfolds in a whole new "tone". I highly recommend this recipe. The pastry is ready. Serve it at the table.
