Apple Charlotte in the oven
Description
The baking is simple and quick. I think this is the best apple cake recipe I've ever tried—and I've tried quite a few. The batter turns out incredibly light and airy. The eggy taste that some apple cakes have is barely noticeable here. Probably not everyone pays attention to that, but I definitely do. Serve it with tea or coffee.
