Apple Sharlotka with Kefir and Sour Cream
Description
Home baking for tea. The fluffiness of your apple charlotte depends a great deal on how well you beat the eggs with a mixer, so do not skip this step and beat them for at least two minutes. I used juicy sweet-tart apples, so I used what I felt was the right amount of sugar; judge by your apple variety and add less or more sugar accordingly.

Step 8
For baking, a silicone pan is very convenient: you do not need to grease it or line it with baking parchment. Spread half of the batter on the bottom of the pan, then spread two thirds of the apple cubes on top. Next, spread the remaining batter on top and arrange the remaining apples over it. Bake the charlotte in an oven preheated to 180°C for 40–45 minutes.
