Who wants to taste the amazing Charlotte apple pie? The recipe for you. Apple Pie "premium" Apple Pie like at McDonald's
Almost everyone who hears the word "McDonald's" imagines a burger and fries. And not without reason, because this is the menu that the fast food chain has adhered to for a long time. But times change, tastes too, and the old is boring for a long time. And everyone strives to diversify their products to attract even more customers. And now in fast food establishments you can find not only burgers, but also pies!
McDonald's decided to release a classic - apple pie. I, like many other people, love pies, and of course I could not miss such a novelty.But for a long time I did not dare to try, since the price of wow - 110 rubles. For this money, you can buy ingredients and bake a whole charlotte yourself. But then the opportunity turned up to try, and my wishes came true
The cake is packed in a nice little black and brown box.
To be honest, I expected it to be bigger both in terms of weight and in terms of size in general. (110 rubles after all)
Opening the box, we see the cake, additionally packed in individual packaging with marking (expiration date) and on a small cardboard backing.
Without it, on the cake you can see a sprinkle of cinnamon and thinly sliced almond shavings, as well as many pieces of apple
Moving on to the main thing - to structure and taste :
1. Structure. A very delicate biscuit, combined with soft (but not too) apples on top, perfectly complement each other. Almond crumb is not felt on the teeth. The cake is soft and not falling apart
2. Taste. Due to its tenderness, the biscuit literally melts in the mouth. Has a pleasant sweetness and vaguely resembles the same tender dough which is used in expensive cakes and pies. It is not pie and not friable (like Easter cake for example), but of a wonderful consistency.
Apples have a pleasant sourness. They do not crunch, but rather behave like a biscuit - they also melt in the mouth. Moreover, I am glad that it is the apple that comes across, and not its peel.
Roasted almonds and cinnamon brighten up the taste a little, preventing it from "blurring" and giving the dessert its own special flavor and severity
Note:
On the main McDonald's website, you can see information about the dish, the composition and calorie content of the dishes.
Unfortunately, there is no information about the composition as such, but in the description everything is extremely brief and clear:
Ruddy apple pie with apple wedges, garnished with a thin layer of cinnamon and roasted almond petals.
But there is calorie content, and very good - 185 kcal per serving.
Per portion
kJ ** 775
kcal ** 185
Fats ** 9.9 g
Carbohydrates** 22 g
Proteins ** 2.1 g
Outcome: A wonderful but expensive novelty that is definitely worth trying. Due to its delicate structure and excellent combination of products, it will not leave you indifferent. Because of its calorie content, it can be entered even by those who are on a diet (gathered in a cafe, for example), because there are more calories in a burger and even a salad.
With tea or coffee, it will perfectly fulfill the role of a dessert. But be careful - it's easy to get hooked
Despite the high price, we get a good product.
: Apple pie on a nut crust with apple soufflé and apples cooked in sugar syrup cinnamon. In the description, practically, there was a recipe hint. Masha called the director, thanked for the pie and found out that it was American Pie which they receive frozen. Before serving, it is defrosted, sliced and sold. The same pie can be seen at McDonald's under the title "Premium Apple Pie". Mary was inspired by the whole story to bake it. She deciphered the recipe, picked up the ingredients and everything worked out! I must warn you that the recipe is not the easiest one, but there is nothing terrible either. It's all up to us.
Dough
Almonds - 160 g
Powdered sugar - 150 g
Wheat flour - 350 g
Chicken egg - 2 pieces
Butter ( room temperature) - 150 g
Filling
Petals (almond, for sprinkling the finished cake) - 50 g
Apple (it is better to take sweet and sour varieties) - 1300 g
Sugar - 150 g
Cinnamon - 1 tsp
Water - 50 ml
Agar-agar - 3 tbsp. l.
Lemon juice (small or 1/2 large lemon) - 1 pc
Prepare food for the test. The oil must be removed from the refrigerator in advance, it must be at room temperature. Grind the nuts in a blender. I had almond flour ready.
Mix ground almonds with flour.
Take about half the flour, add softened butter, stir. Beat eggs together with powdered sugar, add to the butter-flour mixture, mix.
Add the remaining flour, quickly knead the dough.
Collect it in a bun, wrap it in plastic wrap and send it to the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes.
In the meantime, let's get down to stuffing. Here you have to tinker. First, prepare the products so that everything is at hand.
Peel 900 g of apples and cut into cubes.
Place them in a saucepan, add water, sugar, cinnamon and simmer until soft, ~ 6-8 minutes.
Cool the finished apples to room temperature, add agar-agar to the apple mixture, mix. If you do not have agar agar, you can substitute marmalade for it " lemon slice"in the amount of 300 g. Peel the remaining apples (400 g) and cut into thin slices, sprinkle with lemon juice so that they do not darken.
Grease a detachable form with a diameter of 24 cm and a height of 6-8 cm. Preheat the oven to 200 * C. Roll out the dough into a layer of 2 mm and carefully move it into a mold, the sides should be 5-6 cm. Cover the dough with baking paper, previously well wrinkled and then straightened, cover with dry peas or some other load. Send the mold with the dough to the heated oven for 15 minutes, then remove it from the oven, remove the baking paper with the load, and put the mold in the oven again for another 10 minutes, while reducing the oven t to 180 * C.
Take the form out of the oven, put the stewed apples into it.
Put raw apple slices on top in a circle.
Sprinkle lightly with sugar and top with cereal butter, in total it will take about 1 tbsp. l. oils. Place in the oven and bake for ~ 15-20 minutes. Then remove the cake from the oven, sprinkle on top almond petals and again send to the oven until tender.
My dough didn't fit into the mold, it turned out to be a lot, I baked a whole baking sheet of cookies from the remaining dough. Or maybe it was necessary to take a larger form. But I did it the way Masha had in the recipe.
Cool the finished cake completely in a mold, lightly sprinkle the cooled cake with powdered sugar.
I must say that 900 g of apples in the lower part of the filling seemed to me very small, and from 400 g for the upper part there was just left. So I would leave 2-3 apples on the top, and put everything else in the bottom of the filling.
There are pastries that are very simple to prepare, but they turn out to be very tasty. This fully applies to the dish presented below. Both a novice hostess and a teenager can make such baked goods.
What is this outlandish dish? This is apple pie "Charlotte". Its recipe consists of just a few ingredients that are almost always present in the kitchen. If in the summer or autumn at the dacha you wanted to pamper yourself and your family with something tasty, then you can pick a few apples in your area or take them free of charge from neighboring trees and start the mystery of cooking.
Apple pie "Charlotte" (the recipe for which is given below) should include hard varieties fruit. Such apples will lose their shape less during baking and will not turn into "porridge". Another secret to great baking is slicing the fruit. It is not necessary to chop it finely, since then the integrity will be violated due to the effect of high temperature.
And the third tip. So that the apples do not darken and acquire an additional aroma, they are placed in lemon water for a few minutes. To do this, squeeze out the juice of the half in 300 grams of water will also go into business. Thanks to her, the “Charlotte” pie will also acquire a fragrant citrus scent.

1 cup of sugar;

Eggs are beaten into a foam with a mixer. If the hostess is experienced, then you can first separate the yolks from the whites and beat these two components separately, and then gently mix. It will turn out more air pie apple "Charlotte". The recipe does not require this, so you can do it easier by beating the eggs with a mixer until foamy. It's the turn of sugar and vanillin, which are poured into egg mixture while continuing to beat. Add the zest of half a lemon.
Now you need to add flour and continue to create dough with a whisk. When the mass is homogeneous, you can set it aside for now.
1-2 apples are cut into cubes and added to the dough. If you suddenly had to cut them earlier, then you need to dip them in lemon water.
The bottom of the mold is lined with baking parchment. It and the edges are greased with oil and sprinkled with ground breadcrumbs. The remaining apples are cut into slices. Now you can act in two ways. Apples are placed on the bottom of the mold or on top of the dough. In the first method, these fruits are first laid out in an artistic order in a mold, sprinkled with cinnamon, and the dough is poured on top. If you want to do it differently, then first the dough is poured into a mold, and apple slices are placed on it and sprinkled with sugar. Then you get the same apple pie "Charlotte" as in this photo. The recipe is exactly the same.
The product is baked in the oven at 180 ° for about 15-20 minutes.
