Apple charlotte is the recipe many home bakers start with, and it’s easy to see why — it’s almost impossible to get wrong, and the result is always satisfying in its simplicity. A light, airy sponge wraps around apple slices that turn soft during baking and caramelize just slightly on the bottom.

The real secret to a good apple charlotte is well-beaten eggs and sugar. How thick and voluminous that foam gets determines whether the sponge rises properly or ends up dense and rubbery. The flour needs to be folded in gently and quickly, so as not to knock all that carefully whipped air back out of the batter.
