Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- Butter the paper and the sides of the pan.
- Peel, halve and core your apples, then chop them into medium-sized chunks. (Cut each half into four "strips" then slice them fairly thinly - about 1/4-inch - in the other direction.) Pile the cut apples directly in the prepared pan.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer or whisk, beat eggs with sugar until thick and ribbons form on the surface of the beaten eggs.
- Beat in vanilla, then stir in flour with a spoon until just combined. Batter will be very thick.
- Spread the batter and press it down with spoon or spatula into the apple pile. The top of the batter should end up level with the top of the apples. Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a tester comes out free of batter.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes on rack, then flip out onto another rack, peel off the parchment paper, and flip it back onto a serving platter. Dust lightly with ground cinnamon.
- Serve warm or cooled, dusted with powdered sugar. Serve with barely sweetened whipped or sour cream.

Pour over apples in pan, using a spoon or spatula to spread the batter so that it covers all exposed apples. Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a tester comes out free of batter. Cool in pan for 10 minutes on rack, then flip out onto another rack, peel off the parchment paper, and flip it back onto a serving platter. Dust lightly with ground cinnamon. Serve warm or cooled, dusted with powdered sugar. Alex's family eats it plain, but imagine it would be delicious with a dollop of barely sweetened whipped or sour cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 inch round cake pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. You can also use a baking spray instead of the butter/oil and flour. Spray the top of the parchment paper also. Whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are pale yellow and foamy. Add the sour cream to the batter. Dissolve the baking soda in vinegar and add to the batter also. Mix to combine. Add the flour to the batter and mix just until the flour is incorporated. Meanwhile, peel the apples and cut into small, thin pieces. Add the apples to the prepared cake pan. Pour the batter over the apples and distribute evenly over the top. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes, until the sharlotka is golden, or when a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake. Run an offset spatula or butter knife around the edges of the cake pan. Flip the cake over onto a cooling rack. The parchment paper will peel right off. Flip the cake over right side up. Allow it to cool for about 15 minutes. Place the sharlotka onto a serving platter. Dust with confectioner's sugar. You can also sprinkle it with a bit of cinnamon if you like.

Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your sharlotka a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
- Don't peel the apples. The skins add flavor and texture to the sharlotka.
- Use fresh lemon juice. This will help to keep the apples from browning.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the sharlotka tough.
- Bake the sharlotka until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the sharlotka cool slightly before serving. This will help it to hold its shape.
Conclusion:
Apple sharlotka is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and classic flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give apple sharlotka a try.
