To make the perfect crust for your Swedish Apple Charlotte, you will need:
The filling of this dessert is what truly makes it stand out. You will need:
To make the crust, start by combining the flour, sugar, and cold butter in a food processor, pulsing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add in the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of cold water, and pulse until the dough comes together. If the dough is too dry, add in the remaining tablespoon of water. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the sugar and cinnamon until well coated. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan with butter. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and place it into the prepared dish, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Pour the apple mixture into the crust and dot the top with small pieces of butter.
Bake the Swedish Apple Charlotte for 40-45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. For an extra touch, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Now that you have the recipe for Swedish Apple Charlotte, it's time to put on your apron and get baking! With its delicious combination of flavors and impressive presentation, this dessert is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
