Lush charlotte with apples in a slow cooker
The pie turns out very tasty in a slow cooker; sometimes we prefer to bake it in it than in the oven. Another advantage is that the cake doesn’t burn there))) True, it takes a little longer to bake than in a regular oven, but it’s worth it, be sure to try it.
We will need:
- Egg - 5 pcs.
- Sugar - 250 g;
- Flour - 250 g;
- Baking powder - 10 - 15 g;
- Vegetable oil - 4 tablespoons;
- Apples (sour) - 1 kg.
Step 1.
Beat eggs into a deep bowl and add sugar. Beat with a mixer until the volume increases significantly. It takes us about 7-8 minutes.
The longer we beat, the fluffier the dough becomes. But it does not mean. that the longer the better. The mass should increase in volume by 2-3 times.
Step 2.
Sift the flour, add baking powder. Mix with a spoon and sift this mixture into the egg mixture.
Then add vegetable oil and mix everything with a spoon until smooth. You should mix with a spoon or fork, but not with a mixer, so as not to damage the fluffiness of the protein.
Step 3.
Place the dough aside and prepare the apples. We clean the seeds and you can remove the skin. BUT this is a matter of taste, we leave the skin.
Cut the apples into large slices, but not too much.
Step 4.
Now we prepare the bowl from the multicooker. To do this, grease it with butter and it is better to put parchment on the bottom so that the bottom does not burn (I have had a sad experience).
Step 5.
Now put the apples and dough into the bowl in three steps. First pour in 1/3 of the dough, then 1/3 of the apples and so on. The apples remain on top. After baking, the top of the pie turns out beautifully.
Close the lid and set the baking mode. All multicookers are different, ours sets the temperature at 125 degrees and bakes for about 1 hour 40 minutes. Look at your device. Check readiness with a match or wooden toothpick.
When ready, remove the pie and let it cool.

How to decorate a pie and add a twist
You can also add ground cinnamon or ginger to the dry apple pie mixture. They will give baked goods a more refined taste, notes of tartness and tenderness. Don't be afraid to experiment with other spices.

Why is the pie dry?
Apple pie received such a mysterious and intriguing name because of the cooking technology. It became “dry” or bulk because the recipe excluded the addition of eggs, milk, water, butter and other liquid ingredients. There is also no cream in the pie, instead there are just layers of apples. All baking ingredients are free-flowing, so you can simply pour them on top of each other without any hassles or worries, special technologies for kneading or beating the dough. Agree, a simple recipe for dry apple pie is a godsend for a cookbook for both a young and experienced housewife. Fast, reliable and original.
