Charlotte is a dessert that will be relevant at any time of the year. It bakes very quickly, so it does not require much of your time. To make the dough homogeneous and rise, it needs to be made with kefir. And in order not to clog the mass with dough, semolina is excellent.
The idea of cooking apple charlotte cake on kefir with semolina was shared by famous Ukrainian chef Volodymyr Yaroslavskyi (yaroslavskyi_vova) on Instagram. The cook notes that there will be quite a lot of apples - so it should be. The pastry will be very juicy.
