Assemble the Charlotte:
Spoon the cooked apple mixture into the bread-lined baking dish. Cover the top with more slices of buttered bread, and press down lightly to seal the edges.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the Charlotte in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crisp.
Serve:
Let the Charlotte cool slightly before unmolding. Dust with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Serve warm, ideally with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
Use firm apples that hold their shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar to the apple filling.
For a more decadent twist, drizzle caramel sauce over the warm Charlotte before serving.
Storage Options:
Apple Charlotte is best enjoyed fresh on the day it’s made. However, you can store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain the crispness of the bread.
