Cut off the crust from white bread, cut the bread into slices and dry in the oven. Beat eggs with milk and pour the mixture into a plate. Dip slices of bread in it and place in a greased baking dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Peel and core the apples. Cut the fruit into thin slices and mix with the sugar and cinnamon. Place apples on top of the bread. Alternate bread and fruit layers until the shape is complete. Place a piece of butter on top of each. The last layer should be apples.
Smooth the surface of the charlotte, brush it with oil and sprinkle with almond petals, toasted in a dry skillet. Bake the product in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. When the surface of the charlotte is browned, remove it, cool slightly and cut into slices. This dessert can be eaten with vanilla sauce or melted ice cream.
Quick Charlotte with Pears and Custard: Step by Step Preparation
