This was my first time making apple charlotte and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a bit less sugar. It was a bit too sweet for my taste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover apples. I also like to add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra flavor.

This apple charlotte recipe is a keeper! The combination of apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg is a classic for a reason. The bread slices soaked in butter and sugar add a delicious crispy texture to the dish. I highly recommend it!
