Culinary tricks
- To prevent the dough from sticking, sprinkle the surface with a small amount of flour while rolling. Then you will quickly roll out the layer to the desired size, and the dough will not stick to the rolling pin and to the work table;
- The dough can be greased with butter. After baking, it will turn out even tastier and be more tender;
- Be careful while baking. The oven should be tightly closed and should only be opened until the baked goods are fully cooked;
- In order for the edges to stick together well, they should be pressed with hands dipped in water. You can also use a fork for these purposes;
- In order for the baked goods to be well baked on the bottom, they should be baked in the oven on the lower level;
- Ready frozen dough should thaw within 20 minutes;
- If the finished puff pastry is folded in layers, then they should be divided into layers. After thawing, they need to be moistened with water and stacked on top of each other and rolled out with a rolling pin to the desired size;
- You can use plain water to grease the pan. The baked goods will absorb water during the baking process and become even fluffier.

There are several recipes for making charlotte from puff pastry. It can be made in a slow cooker or oven, whichever is more convenient for you. First, let's look at the classic method.
It doesn’t matter what kind of dough we take - yeast or yeast-free. In any case, this will have almost no effect on the taste of the pie.
Making homemade puff pastry with apples
- Defrost the puff pastry in advance and leave it to breathe, completely unrolling the roll or removing the layers from the packaging.
- Wash the apples, dry them and cut them into small slices or cubes. Set aside.
- Grease the pie pan with butter - it will make the dessert more flavorful, roll out one layer a little and carefully distribute, leaving high sides.
- Place the apples inside, sprinkle them with sugar, cinnamon and be sure to add flour or starch. This is necessary so that the filling does not leak out during cooking and becomes thicker.
- Cover the pie with another layer of dough, seal the sides well, prick in several places with a fork, brush with egg if desired, sprinkle sugar or powdered sugar on top - this will give the crust an appetizing gloss, and set to bake.
- Keep in the oven at 180C for at least 35 minutes on medium level. After 25 minutes, check to see if the top is burning and, if it seems that it has darkened too much, cover it with foil folded several times.
After time has passed, remove the puff pastry charlotte and be sure to let it cool for at least half an hour, otherwise the filling may leak out when slicing. Serve the finished pie with scoops of ice cream and slices of fresh apples.
As you can see, preparing the dessert in the oven is very simple, but if you want to give it an extra twist, change the filling a little.
Puff pastry charlotte with apples and caramel
We spread the dough in the same way as in the previous mode, and then start preparing the filling.
- In a non-stick frying pan, melt 70 g of butter and add ½ cup of sugar.
- Stir it until it is completely dissolved and, when the caramel begins to thicken and darken, add the green hard apples already cut into small pieces without skin. They will be required depending on the size from 3 to 4 pieces.
- Stew them in caramel, adding 1 tsp. cinnamon until soft, then remove from heat.
- Let it cool quite a bit and put it on the dough. Close the pie and bake in a hot (190°C) oven for 25 minutes.
Since the filling inside is already ready, we only need to prepare the dough, so this puff pastry charlotte is made even faster!
Well, for those who do not have an oven in the kitchen, but do have a multicooker at their disposal, we suggest trying the following recipe for the famous pie.
Puff charlotte with apples in a slow cooker
- Thaw 1 package of dough and place it on a floured table.
- Wash 2 apples and cut into small cubes, approximately 5 by 5 mm, also finely chop 2 bananas and chop 70 g of walnuts. It is better to do this with a knife, since from the blender we will get too small pieces that will not be felt in the filling.
- We combine everything, add 1-2 tbsp. sugar and mix.
- Roll out the dough into long strips, approximately 6-7 cm wide. Place the filling on each one lengthwise and pinch the edges to form a sausage.
- Grease the multicooker bowl with butter or vegetable oil and place puff pastry sausages filled with apple-banana filling inside in a spiral.
- Sprinkle the pie with shavings of butter on top - you can grate it or simply cut it with a knife - you will need about 50 g.
Set the multicooker to the “Baking” mode and the timer to 40 minutes. Close the lid and, when the time is up, carefully turn the pie over, brush it with egg white, sprinkle with sugar and leave to bake for another half hour.
Before removing the finished charlotte from the bowl, open the lid and wait for 15 minutes, then put it on the board and keep it in the air for at least 30 minutes. This way it will cool down and infuse properly.

How to make apple pie from puff pastry
Rinse and dry the apples well with a paper towel. Peel them from seeds and cut them into small plastics, you can leave the peel. The neater the apple slices are, the more appetizing the finished pie will look. Try to keep the slices equally even and about 1 centimeter thick. If you want the pie to be spicy and like spices, you can sprinkle the apples with a little cinnamon.
Choose a suitable pie tin and grease it with a little butter and lightly dust it with flour. The recipe calls for using a mold of any diameter and material. It all depends on your imagination. You can use ceramic, glass or regular detachable.
Then take one plate of ready-made yeast-free puff pastry. There are several of them in a package; one is enough for this pie recipe. The rest you can put in the freezer. If you just took the dough out of the refrigerator, you need to defrost it at room temperature for 1 hour or in the microwave. Next, roll out to a thickness of 4 millimeters and carefully place the dough in a baking dish. Press the softened dough against the sides of the pan and cut off any excess around the edges.
The recipe recommends using firm varieties of green apples (Semirenko, Antonov apples, Jonathan, Golden, etc.) If you have juicy red apples, they can give juice during the cooking process and the pie will not be crispy, the dough will become soggy. To avoid this, sprinkle a little starch, dry cookie crumbs or breadcrumbs on the dough, they will remove excess juice.
Place apple slices on the dough in a circle and sprinkle the filling with 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. If you have leftover dough scraps, you can bake them separately and, using a knife, cut them into crumbs and decorate the finished pie.
Take a separate bowl and pour the chilled white of one egg into it (carefully so that parts of the yolk do not get into the mixture!) It is better to take fresh eggs that have been in the refrigerator for no more than three days. Beat the finished protein with a small amount of sugar, as per the recipe for making homemade meringue. The resulting mass should be fluffy and thick.
Recipe to note
We offer a universal recipe for the perfect separation of egg whites from the yolk, which will come in handy when cooking. You need an ordinary plastic bottle. Break the egg into a bowl, being careful not to damage the yolk. Take an empty bottle and press on it to create a vacuum. Now carefully suck the yolk into the bottle. Fast and easy!
When the cream is ready, place it on the dough and sprinkle with puff crumbs from the dough scraps pre-baked in the oven. According to the recipe, the dessert should be baked in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 25-30 minutes until the apples are browned. It is recommended to cut and serve the pie slightly cooled. When serving, you can sprinkle with powdered sugar, garnish with fresh mint and a scoop of ice cream.
Layered pie with apples is ready! Bon appetit! This recipe is suitable at any time of the year.
