Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large tart apples, such as Granny Smiths
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, to finish
1 teaspoon powdered sugar, also to finish, maybe more
whipped cream, sweetened slightly (optional)
sour cream, sweetened slightly (optional)

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.

Yield 8 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 8

Butter or nonstick spray, for greasing pan
6 large, tart apples, such as Granny Smiths
3 large eggs
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
Ground cinnamon, to finish
Powdered sugar, also to finish

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. (I cut each half into four "strips" then sliced 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. The batter will be very thick. 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.

RUSSIAN APPLE PIE/CAKE (SHARLOTKA) RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Russian Apple Pie/Cake (Sharlotka) Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
3/4 teaspoon baking soda, dissolved in 1/2 teaspoon vinegar
1 1/2 cups flour
5 large apples, (I like Granny Smith)

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. Different apples will give your sharlotka a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set.
  • Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a touch of sweetness and creaminess.

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.
