Almond apple charlotte

Almond apple charlotte is one of the most popular desserts that almost everyone has tried at least once. It is easy to prepare and features a delicate texture with a pleasant apple tang. Adding a small amount of almond flour not only enhances the flavor of this classic apple cake but also significantly increases its nutritional value.

Sweet almond powder contains valuable fatty acids (omega-6, omega-9, linoleic and oleic acids), vitamins E, PP, C, A, most B-group vitamins, and essential minerals such as magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, and zinc. Regular consumption has a positive effect on overall vitality, helps strengthen the immune system, and supports muscle mass — especially important for athletes and people engaged in physical work.

Thanks to its easily digestible plant-based proteins and dietary fiber, almond flour is very filling. It helps reduce hunger while serving as a natural energy source necessary for the body’s normal and healthy functioning.

Ingredients

For the most tender almond apple charlotte cake, you will need:

• 4 eggs;
• 200 g sugar (adjust to taste);
• 1 pinch of salt;
• 1 orange;
• 100 g almond flour;
• 150 g wheat flour;
• 1 pinch of cinnamon;
• 2 medium apples (preferably tart or sweet-and-sour);

Step-by-step instructions

Wash the orange, pour boiling water over it, and peel it. Grate the peel finely or blend it to make orange zest.

Wash the apples under running water and cut them into cubes or thin strips. If the skin is tough, peel it off.

In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and sugar. Gradually add almond flour first, then wheat flour, mixing until smooth. The batter should be uniform and moderately thick, similar to medium-fat sour cream.

Grease a baking dish with oil. Place the apples on the bottom, sprinkle with orange zest and cinnamon, then pour the batter over the top.

Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 30–40 minutes. After baking, let the cake rest in the switched-off oven for a few minutes. Cool, remove from the mold, slice, and serve.

Notes

You can also add sesame flour or flaxseed flour to the dessert. For those with gluten intolerance, this apple charlotte can be made using almond flour only. A wide selection of flours, grains, and nuts is available at CraftOil, a Ukrainian store specializing in natural and healthy products.
