Charlotte with apples in the microwave - general principles of preparation
• To cook charlotte in the microwave, you will need special glassware or ordinary silicone molds. Porcelain containers of a suitable size can also be used. The dishes should be high, since the dough during baking in the microwave rises higher than when you cook it in the oven.
• Apples are better to use sweet and sour varieties with hard, not fleshy pulp. Fruits are cut into thin slices or small cubes, having previously cut the peel from the fruit, it will not be baked in the microwave oven. Crushed apples are mixed with dough or poured by them, laying the pieces on the bottom of the form.
• Eggs are an invariable ingredient in any charlotte dough. They are whipped separately, with sugar or with additional ingredients and only then combined with flour. The sugar crystals remaining in the test, when baked in the microwave, can burn, so it’s better to use a mixer to beat or, better yet, grind sugar into powder.
• For a classic pie, the dough is made from eggs and flour, but you can also find recipes with the addition of kefir, condensed milk or cottage cheese. Such products improve the taste and make the cake more satisfying.
• Glass and porcelain containers are lubricated with vegetable oil; silicone molds do not require such preparation. Baking time depends on the power of the microwave. With a power of 600-800 W, the timer is set for 10 minutes, if the microwave power is higher, the cake will be ready in five minutes. Outwardly, it is impossible to determine whether the dough was baked, so the readiness should be checked by piercing the pie with a wooden sliver. If it remains dry - the delicacy is ready.
• The surface of charlotte with apples cooked in the microwave is always pale. To correct this drawback, slightly cooled cake is covered with icing sugar or specially prepared cream.
