For some, it reminds them of childhood with its carelessness and fun, for others - reckless student years or the first timid attempts to please their husband with aromatic pastries. The unconditional "pluses" of apple pie are the cheapness of the necessary products and a very simple recipe. Imagine that you don't even have to put eggs in it. And the taste will not suffer at all - it will please you with a harmonious combination of sweet dough and filling with a pleasant sourness. So, let's find out what an apple pie without eggs can be.
Charlotte with manga and yogurt
Indeed, what could be simpler thancharlotte? Unexpected guests at the door? Quickly cut the apples, mix the ingredients for the dough, throw everything into the pan, and the fragrant pie is ready for evening tea. Want to treat your family with something tasty on the weekend? Here you go: the same charlotte, only poured with melted chocolate and decorated with a scoop of ice cream. But the recipe for this dessert is so variable that you can treat yourself to a new pie every time. Here, for example, is how you can bake a charlotte with semolina on kefir. And you don’t need to go for eggs. Ingredients:
- apples (sweet and sour) - 500 grams
- kefir 2,5% fat content - 1 glass
- wheat flour - 1 glass
- semolina - 1 glass
- sugar - 1,5 cups
- sunflower oil - 0.5 cups
- salt - a pinch
- vanilla sugar - 1 sachet
- soda - 0.5 teaspoon
- vinegar
Method of preparation:Some people call this pie not a charlotte, but a manna. But the classic recipe for the latter requires eggs and butter. And the version described in this article is much lighter not only because of the preparation, but also in terms of calories. And the classic manna is usually not baked with apples. But it is impossible to imagine a charlotte without them. Let's start with the dough. Pour kefir into any deep container, add semolina, sifted flour (for airiness) and a pinch of salt. Mix everything well so that there are no lumps. Now it's time to add granulated sugar and vanilla to the dough. Quench the soda with vinegar and add it too. Lastly, pour in the sunflower oil. If you have correctly observed all the specified proportions of ingredients, the dough will resemble thick sour cream in its consistency. Now get to work on the apples. They need to be washed thoroughly, peeled, the cores with seeds removed and cut into thin slices. Some housewives prefer to shorten the process of preparing the filling and use apples with the peel. This is quite acceptable if the latter is not very dense and hard, otherwise it will get stuck in your teeth, spoiling the whole impression of such a delicate dessert. Add the apples to the dough and stir. Take any form with high sides, grease it with butter and sprinkle with semolina or breadcrumbs. It is better to use semolina - it will turn into a crispy crust during baking. Put the dough with apples in the form and put it in the oven preheated to 180 ° C for 40 minutes. You can judge that the charlotte is ready by its beautiful brownish color or check it the good old way - by sticking a match into the middle. If there is no raw dough on it, then it is time to take the dessert out. It is best served with tea, or in hot weather, with cool homemade compote.
Bulk apple pie without eggs
If you like so-called moist pies withapples, then this recipe will take a worthy place in your collection of homemade baked goods. This dessert can feed a large group of guests, since it turns out to be quite filling. By the way, the pie is quite suitable as a snack for a schoolchild, and supplemented with a glass of milk, it will be a wonderful afternoon snack for a younger child. Ingredients:
- apples (juicy with sourness) - 4-5 pieces
- Butter - 150 grams
- wheat flour - 1 glass
- semolina - 1 glass
- granulated sugar - 1 glass
- baking powder - 2 teaspoons
- Vanilla sugar - 1 teaspoon
Method of preparation:If it weren't for the lack of kefir and the presence of butter, the recipe for this pie could be confused with a charlotte without eggs. Indeed, semolina is needed for the dough, and the proportions themselves are very similar. As in the previous version, the main measuring container is a glass. But this is only an apparent similarity. In fact, the recipe for making the dough is completely different, and it looks different and is called a dry mix. It is made as follows. You need to thoroughly mix the following ingredients: flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar and semolina. You won't believe it, but the dough is ready. Now you need to take care of the apples: wash, peel, remove the core and seeds. The future filling is prepared using a coarse grater, not a knife. As you may have guessed, the apples just need to be grated. And now you will understand why the pie is called bulk. Take a Teflon form with high sides. There is no need to grease it with butter. Pour a small portion of the dry mixture evenly onto the bottom and put the filling on top. Alternate these two components of the future dessert until you fill the entire form, but remember that the crumbly dough should be on the very top. Grate the cooled butter directly onto it after the pie is formed. Be sure to use a large grater. Send the form with the future dessert into the oven, preheated to 180 ° C. Bake such an unusual apple pie for 40-45 minutes. It should become a pleasant golden-honey color on top. When ready, take the bulk pie out of the oven, let it cool slightly and cut into small portioned squares. It is best to serve with aromatic evening tea.
Vegetarian, or Tsvetaeva apple pie
The recipe for this sweet dish will surely pleasethose of you who do not often indulge in homemade baking, because you are a fan of vegetarian cuisine. But in most cases, delicious desserts cannot be imagined without eggs. You should not refuse a piece of aromatic apple pie, especially if it does not contain those components that you do not eat. This unusual recipe was invented in the family of the great poetess Marina Tsvetaeva, so it was named in her honor. Ingredients:
- Wheat flour - 250 grams + 4 tablespoons
- sour cream - 300 grams
- Butter - 150 grams
- sugar - 200 grams
- apples - 5 pieces
- baking powder - 1 teaspoon
- lemon juice - 2-3 teaspoons
Method of preparation:It should be said right away that this recipe involves working in three stages: with the dough, the filling and the cream. Don't rush to sigh in disappointment, in fact, everything is very simple. Big deal, you'll have to spend a little more time! But you can proudly say to your family or friends who dropped by: "I'll treat you to a real Tsvetaevsky apple pie!" So, let's get started. In a deep container, you need to mix the flour and baking powder. You can sift them through a sieve. Now add the butter. If it hasn't had time to soften well, then cut it into thin slices with a knife and let it melt slightly. Now mix all three ingredients so that the result is fine crumbs. You can do this with a food processor, but oddly enough, doing it by hand is faster and easier. Now add 100 grams of sour cream and knead everything well. Wrap the resulting dough in cling film and refrigerate for a quarter of an hour. Before preparing the filling, take a medium-height round form. Cover the bottom with baking paper and sprinkle the sides with flour. Wash the apples, peel and core them, cut into small slices. To prevent them from darkening, sprinkle with lemon juice. Take out the dough, roll it into a circle and distribute it over the entire form, not forgetting about the sides. Put in the apple filling. Now you need to start preparing the cream. Whip the remaining 200 grams of sour cream with sugar a little. The required thickness can be achieved by adding 4 tablespoons of flour. In this case, it replaces the eggs, giving the desired thickness. Pour the finished cream over the filling and put it all in the oven, as always preheated to 180° C. After 20 minutes, if the top of the dessert has browned, reduce the temperature to 140° C and leave the pie to bake for another 20-25 minutes. Enjoy your tea!

Then add 75 grams of sugar, finely grated carrots and baking powder. Knead the mass thoroughly with your hands. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. It's time to make the filling. To do this, use a mixer to beat the cottage cheese with cream, sour cream, the remaining sugar and vanilla. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and evenly distribute it over the entire greased form, forming the sides. Cover it with baking paper on top, on which sprinkle peas. This is necessary so that the dough remains flat and does not swell. That's it, you can put the future pie in the oven, preheated to 200° C, for about 15 minutes. Now let's get to the apples. As usual, they should be washed, peeled and seeded, and cut into medium-sized slices. Put 25 grams of butter on the bottom of the frying pan. As soon as it dissolves, add a teaspoon of sugar and put some of the apples in. They need to be caramelized over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a thin golden crust forms. Do the same with the rest of the fruit. When your dough turns golden brown, take it out of the oven, remove the peas and paper. Now you can put in the curd filling. If you want the caramelized apples to bake additionally, then put them on top of the curd. If, on the contrary, you plan to enjoy their fresh taste, then decorate the finished pie with them. Put the dessert in the oven for another 20 minutes, and reduce the temperature to 180° C. Baked goods with apples are deservedly popular all over the world.
