Gluten-free Apple Charlotte
It turns out that gluten-free baking can be delicious! I never thought that rice flour could create such a tasty and surprisingly fluffy baked treat. This flour doesn't have any special taste, so it's a perfect substitute for wheat flour. This recipe is ideal for those who have gluten intolerance. During apple season, the aroma of cinnamon and apples fills our house. In my opinion, it's the most delicious and cozy combination. And apple charlotte is the first thing that comes to mind when using these ingredients. Moreover, it's very easy to make, and all the ingredients are always on hand. I prepared a gluten-free apple charlotte for the first time, and both me and my family were satisfied with the result. It turned out to be delicious.

Directions
Prepare all the necessary ingredients for making gluten-free charlotte cake with apples. Thoroughly wash and dry the apples. Now, in the midst of apple season, choose the most delicious and fragrant ones. I used a sweet and sour variety of apples for this recipe. If your apples are too sweet, you can try reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.
Remove the seeds and stems from the apples and cut them into cubes. If desired, you can peel the apples at this stage. I always leave the skin on, I like it that way. Do it as you prefer. I had 4 apples and I cut 2.5 of them into cubes. We will cut the remaining apples differently.
Sprinkle the diced apples with cinnamon and mix thoroughly to ensure all the pieces are coated in cinnamon. If desired, you can slightly increase the amount of cinnamon to taste.
Remove the seeds and stems from the remaining 1.5 apples and cut them into slices of medium thickness, about 5 mm.
Beat chicken eggs with sugar using a mixer on high speed until thick and fluffy for about 3 minutes. Leave approximately 1 tablespoon of sugar for further preparation of gluten-free apple charlotte.
Sift rice flour with a leavening agent through a sieve into the beaten eggs until fluffy.
Gently fold the rice flour with the leavening agent into the egg mixture using a silicone spatula. Be careful not to deflate the air bubbles. Only use the spatula and avoid using a mixer or whisk.
Line the bottom of a detachable baking pan with parchment paper and spread a few tablespoons of dough, evenly distributing it on the bottom. If your baking pan does not have a non-stick coating, grease it with oil or fully line it with parchment paper. Silicone molds do not need to be greased. The diameter of my baking pan is 19 cm.
Arrange a layer of apple cubes mixed with cinnamon on top of the dough.
Pour the remaining dough into a baking dish.
Arrange apple slices on top attractively. To get a beautiful and appetizing crust, I grated a piece of frozen butter on top of the apples and sprinkled the remaining sugar. Bake in a well-preheated oven at a temperature of 180°C for about 40 minutes. I have chosen the top-bottom baking mode. After 40 minutes of baking the gluten-free apple pie, it is important to check for readiness with a wooden skewer or toothpick. They should come out dry. If the skewer happens to be moist, bake the pie for a couple more minutes and check again for doneness.
Serve the ready gluten-free apple pie sprinkled with powdered sugar. It is convenient to do this using a sieve so that the sugar is distributed evenly and finely. Enjoy your meal!
