How to properly store charlotte
The issue of storing charlotte can be considered not very relevant, since such an apple pie is usually swept off the table immediately after it has cooled. But if you still have to store the charlotte, then you need to remember that it cannot be suitable for a long time due to the sourish filling, and requires a little attention.
Charlotte is usually stored in a refrigerator (after it has completely cooled down). Some housewives send it for saving directly in the form in which it was baked. In this case, the top of the container must be tightly covered with cling film. You can also place the sliced apple pie (with the filling facing each other) in a convenient food container with a tight lid.
Of course, you don’t need to put the whole pie in the refrigerator, but only those pieces that are left and you can leave them there for no longer than 5 days. Charlotte does not lose its true taste for half a day. Therefore, putting it in the refrigerator is an extreme measure. You need to remember that the apple filling can turn sour first, and next to it, of course, the dough.
A kind of fudge will also help preserve the freshness of the charlotte: sour cream whipped with granulated sugar. You need to spread it on the surface of the pie. This way it won't become stale soon.
As a last resort, the charlotte can be frozen and stored there for up to 1 month.
