Time 2h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 10 tablespoons, softened
6 pounds mixed tart apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
22 slices thin-slice white bread, crusts removed
Whipped cream or ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the apples, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Cover and cook until the apples break down and the mixture becomes stiff, about 50 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool while you put together the bread.
  • Arrange 4 of the bread slices in a square shape on a flat surface. Place the Charlotte mold upside down on the bread and trace the opening with a sharp edge. (Alternatively, use a 2-quart ovenproof casserole dish.) Cut the bread following the traced line and brush both sides with the softened butter. Fit the bread into the bottom of the mold. Cut 11 of the bread slices in half lengthwise. They should be about the same height as the mold. Spread the halved slices with the softened butter and place them against the inside of the mold, overlapping like a fan. Fill the mold with the apple mixture. Cut the remaining 7 slices of bread into triangles, brush with the softened butter and fan the pieces over the top, pressing to fit into the top of the mold.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Allow the pan to cool 15 minutes. Run a knife around the inside of the mold to loosen it before unmolding. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Didn't turn out as expected. Maybe I did something wrong.

A bit too sweet for my taste, but overall a solid recipe.

Great recipe! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more sugar to the apples for a sweeter filling.

Delicious and easy to make! I used Granny Smith apples for a bit of a tart flavor, and they worked perfectly.

The flavors in this apple charlotte were spot-on, but I found the crust to be a bit too dry. Next time, I'll try adding a bit more butter to the dough.

This recipe deserves 5 stars and more! The apple filling was bursting with flavor, and the crust was golden brown and flaky. It was a hit at my dinner party, and everyone asked for the recipe.

This apple charlotte recipe is an absolute winner! The flaky, buttery crust paired with the tender, cinnamon-spiced apples is a match made in dessert heaven. My family and friends raved about it.
