In all my many years of thrifty cooking I have never made a charlotte. I make my own bread and this is a terrific way of using up leftovers - I NEVER throw bread away. I always have a few apples in the fridge so this is on my list of things to make.
I have made a similar one, which was a recipe Jane Austen recommended. It was multiple layers of buttered bread with each layer covered with thinly sliced raw apples and sugar. She also had a great alcoholic punch recipe I used to make at Christmas.
You’re a man after my own heart. I often let the reduced produce bin decide what’s for dinner 😊. And that charlotte is the perfect use for winter fruit!
Loved this so much, nan did it with apples and pears......she also made crab apple jelly so she would put some on top of the charlotte while serving..... we never wanted to try the crab apple jelly on our toast and we didnt know it was on the apple charlotte...she never told us for a few years, but once we knew, she could never make enough of the jelly to keep it in the pantry.....we ate it all in a few days and even washed out the jars expecting more..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A delicious recipe Rik....love a good old fashioned dessert using bread 😊 with a nice drop of custard..... think you've just given me my dessert recipe for this weekend.... thankyou 😊
Looks great - I believe that here in the States there's something very similar called apple brown betty, although I've never had it. I made bread & butter pudding for the first time last week and it's so much better than plain bread pudding... ate too much and gave myself a stomach ache... These days, I can't imagine who has the money to buy perfect produce and full price groceries. Every time I shop, it's more and more expensive. If it doesn't turn around soon, we're really going to suffer. Of course our leaders don't care - they never suffer for anything.
Yes I agree with you. It's a shame that the folks at the top of the tree aren't in touch with those planting and growing that tree! There certainly isn't much left in the purse these days. Good luck, wishing you all the best, Rik
Reminds me of my youth. Apple trees in garden. Mum cooking Apple Charlotte. (different from your recipe - she used a large, open glass dish, Buttered the dish well. Buttered Baker's Bread, layered sliced apples and sugar and buttered bread. White sugar on top. The juice of the apples mixed with the sugar and butter and made toffee and toffee sauce. Served with Custard. Yum).
I have never seen a pie(pudding)made with bread like this...I need to get out more. I see hundreds of variations on this. This is brilliant, thanks Rik.
You never cease to continue to impress me Rik, another fantastic bake thank you. Never heard of this before, but definitely one i will be trying 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wonderful! Great way to make a quick desert with old bread and discounted fruit! It's even tastier than pastry to me, the buttery toasted bread with the delicious luscious warm fruit.
Economical, delicious and so easy! Your so lovely to watch! I’m so glad I’ve found you and subscribed. It’s like watching my English heritage come to life. Blessings on you for not giving up despite setbacks, and cracking on. You’re an inspiration to every generation of people and home cooks everywhere. All my love!❤️❤️❤️
Happiest lady here 🎉I found your channel. Sitting on my kitchen counter are apples and pears that need to be used❤not wasted. This Will tomorrow’s breakfast with coffee. 😋 from Oklahoma USA
Looks so yummy Rik, I might try it with Light brown sugar and cinnamon mix sprinkled on the top before baking, thank you for sharing another great recipe 😊
Rik you made me salivate with your pear and apple Charlotte. Mmmm. I am still tuning in late evening and then fall asleep with a smile on my face. You are a lovely soul with a passion for cooking in a simple but fabulous way. I love your banter. Look at that ! Lol. Thank you,Del x
Well I made the apple Charlotte but the outside wasn't as crisp as yours. I think I was being a bit hasty and if I'd left it in the oven 10 more minutes it would have been perfect. It still tasted lovely so thank you yet again ,Del
The dish was named after Queen Charlotte who was married to George III in 18th century UK. Best served with ice cream and or cream. Like this twist to receipe using pears. Delicious.
One of my favourite sayings is "I own a paring knife" I look for salvageable fruit & vegetables when the price is reduced. Great to maximize the variety of my cooking and eating choices and extend my pensioner's fixed income budget. This allows me to try creating something tasty with odd combinations, Apples go well with onions and no one will know that your garden compost pile also ate well.
Very nice. In the Black Forest we call this recipe "Ofenschlupfer" means slip in the oven. At the beginning of the 20th century there we're a lot of poor people in the region and they took the bread, the fruits and milk or cream to make this. Your way to arrange the bread is amazing. Thank you so much
I love reduced specials! On chuck out I call it - because if you don't buy this now it's going in the bin lol. The Vietnamese supermarkets always had the best chuck out deals - like a whole carrier bag of fruit for one dollar! I think a lot of people turned their nose up because some of them were bruised or over ripe - but I'm like there's 20 Nashi pears in the bag, by the time I cut off the bad bits, I've still got 15 Nashi pears worth - for one dollar! Some people are so stuck up when it comes to food lol.
Rik, your channel is my favourite find of 2024. You make me want to attempt all your recipes. My HYSapientia air fryer arrived today. I'm so excited to try this apple and pear Charlotte.
My menus and cooking both at home and at the Soup Kitchen are determined by what's in the mark-down bin or loss leaders at the grocery stores or what's been donated. A bit of Fly By the Seat of Your Pants Cooking which keeps life interesting and the brain cells firing in your senior years (moi aussi). During these challenging financial times worldwide, it is important to learn how to eat well, stay healthy and keep smiling despite limited financial resources and all the gloom & doom surrounding us. Rik, consider using a wee bit of anise when cooking with apples. It adds a lovely flavor and aroma to the apples. I learned that eons ago from an old Italian woman who made the best apple pies I've ever eaten. Tapioca also makes a superior thickening agent. Gives it a more refined taste to fillings. Warm Caramel Sauce would be a lovely topping as well to your delicious creation. 🍏 🍐 🥪
Yum that looks so good Rik 🍎🍐🍏, thank you , and I love yellow sticker (reduced items) it’s the first place we go in the supermarket you never know what gems you will find , and you can make some great cheap meals with a little imagination and your great ideas and recipes 👍Amanda xx
Apple season starts here in northern Michigan in about 3 more weeks, and local farms are everywhere up here. I'm looking forward to trying this recipe then with lovely ripe apples! Thank you, Rik! Best wishes. 💜
This looks fantastic Rik, I’m 68 and I’ve made plenty of desserts and I do make plenty if bread and butter puddings but I’ve never made a Charlotte. I think I’m going to have a go at this, it looks so good. Thanks for your video.
This recipe made me subscribe. simple to make and it's simply beautiful. Im not a dessert eater but my family is and i struggle to make desserts but i believe i can pull this off and my family will be pleased. Thank you
I read a book of Jane Austen's favourite recipes which included a recipe for apple Charlotte from circa 1800. The apples weren't pre cooked just sliced thinly. There were multiple layers of bread, each slice covered with apple and sugar. It was very easy for the grandkids to put together. Cheers from Australia.
That was the recipe I used (with lots of butter), been baking it since the early 60s. Another family recipe passed down from my grandmother who was "in service" before WW1
@@lat1419 That's so interesting, the recipe would have already been 100 years old. The book also had Jane's favourite punch recipe. Orange and lemon juice (2:1) and sugar boiled and cooled down, and mixed with an equal amount of port wine. I made it one Christmas and it was a hit. Hi from Australia.
@@lat1419 I was delicious and low enough in alcohol to make it suitable for daytime. Queen Victoria liked scotch in her red wine which would have packed a punch. I have my great great grandmothers recipe book but it's mainly cough medicines, and alcoholic beverages.
Made mine with products in the house so it ended up as 'not a Charlotte but different'. Didn't have pears so used some preserved rhubarb I'd made last year with the apples and some spicy fruit mix left over from the Eccles cakes I'd made yesterday. Turned out magnificent, thanks for the recipe and and the methods of making.v
Great family affordable pudding Rik. I have introduced you to my wife (Thai chef) she loves the channel and wants to try. All the best from Pattaya today.
Cook away. My wife is a Chef too!I get watched cooking Thai, however that is why all the Thai recipes on here are real. I wish her good luck! Best, Rik@@colinsmith7576
Lovely simple and economical way to make use of , day old bread and fruits . If you line your spring form pan with a disk and strip of baking paper, it all slips out . I will have to adapt this to my cast iron Dutch oven
I have been looking through all the videos you have done. It’s amazing and I have so much to catch up on. So far I have about half a dozen savoury dishes to do and the same with sweet desserts, including a favourite of mine, Eccles cakes. This looks delicious…😊
Well what a great way to use old bread , instead of bread and butter pudding, just a thought could you make a quiche type base doing this without the top.
Oh my goodness. That looks fabulous. I don't do posh. I'm more rustic. It's a pity you're so far away, I could be your taster. Another great recipe and tutorial. Thank you, Rik. P.S. I'm making beef olives for my dinner today, with colcannon and green beans.
Custard or vanilla ice cream ? Both definitely. Instead of mixed spice I use star anise when cooking apple. Baked stuffed apples, spam fritters the list is endless!
Bang on cookery advice in this video, you and i are both Yorkshiremen, no nonsense cookery, absolutely, don't stress about this must be happen or this recipe must be followed exactly, yes, Cook to your individual taste 😊 innit Rik
specially good for me as I canny have pastry... I would never have thought of this as an option. Would there be a savoury equivalent? Another good one, RIk. @@BackyardChef
Love all the meal ideas you are showing, I have a question, can I cook scrambled eggs in the stunning airfryer, is it able to do a full English? One othe suggestion, can you say when cooking one of the main dishes like the suet bacon and onion, just when can I add vegetables to utilise the heat to cook the full meal all together. Love all the interesting and clever ideas, trying the garlic bread flowers this lunch time.
That really looks good Rik, I remember making it at school in a basin and turning it out upside down & having it with custard, but it was just apples. It didn’t look as good as yours as I remember it 😀..Question for you Rik, why do we never make pear pie ? We make pies out of all other English fruits but never pear ❤
Great questions and if anyone knows a region that makes pear pies would be appreciated - Myself I would think, likely have been made in regions of the UK where pears are grown. The UK has several regions known for their fruit production, including parts of England like Kent, known as the "Garden of England," where a variety of fruits including pears are grown. Similarly, the West Country, which encompasses counties like Somerset, Gloucestershire, and Devon, is known for its orchards and could also be a region where pear pie or pear-based desserts might have been more common. I agree usually more apple desserts. Best, Rik
Rik its Del from south wales again. How about making a huge tray of bread pudding? We were very poor and mam used to make it out of stale bread .It was very stodgy but filled us up. I liked the almost burnt ,crusty bits.Please indulge me and take me down memory lane! Thanks Rik, Diolch!Del x
Now that is a dessert, i cannot wait to try this one. Please don't hate me for nagging i am sure you are a busy man, but will you be doing a curry video in the near future. I will still be your biggest fan whatever. Cheers.
I have to. You know, it helps me cook. Combining ingredients. Takes me back to all the things I have cooked and now I combine. Good food too! Thank you. Best, Rik
I tried to make Summer Pudding and did have a really good crust/bread. It was basically a fruit compote and your supposed to soak up some of the fruit juices in the bread which seems simple but.... mine didn't soak up much juice. If you make this do you cook yours like this Charlotte? I'm wondering if there's a trick to it I missed? This one looks like a simple version of apple pie I don't see how you could go wrong there. I wish I could get all of that for less that 2 dollars though. A loaf of bread is anywhere from 1.25-5-6 dollars and Apples are usually 2.50 per lb or more depending on which one you chose.
Do they not do reduced produce where you are? I buy all the reduced stuff. Folks look at me, and I just think - I will make that, I can make that. I don't think you missed any trick - some bread absorb more than others. I think you probably made it all correctly and just unlucky. It happens to all of us. Give it another go. Best, Rik
You must have really dry bread for summer pudding, dry it in the oven if you have to. If it has any freshness in it, it will not soak up the fruit juice.
@@BackyardChef Mostly big stores around me and they will throw everything out instead of reducing most times. Maybe a bakery cart will have "day olds" but that's about it. Farmers Markets are all but gone, there maybe one in a small town, but many orchards make cider with old apples. Cider =4-5 dollars a gallon at an Orchard. Many of the discount stores get run out of town because they buy stock wholesale (or less) from store taking it off of shelves because it's get close to a sell by date or ripe.(over stocks also) Small businesses are difficult to keep running especially markets, you need the support of a small town.
Wow shocking behaviour. Why throw out? Crazy, the store still makes a little money before throwing and could be clearing, lowering the levels of waste. What a shame. Wishing you luck. Best, Rik @@bradh74
Do you have a version of banana bread? I’ve tasted some that were delicious but when I’ve tried to make it, it came out dry. I’m not sure if the recipe I have is trying to be too healthy and leaving out something important.
In all my many years of thrifty cooking I have never made a charlotte. I make my own bread and this is a terrific way of using up leftovers - I NEVER throw bread away. I always have a few apples in the fridge so this is on my list of things to make.

Looks fabulous and a healthy option too. 😀
Thank you. It's a nice pleasant tasty one! A change on pastry apple pie. Best, Rik
specially good for me as I canny have pastry... I would never have thought of this as an option. Would there be a savoury equivalent? Another good one, RIk. @@BackyardChef

You can indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik
I love a nice firm pair !
Oops, I mean pear! Lol.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Love all the meal ideas you are showing, I have a question, can I cook scrambled eggs in the stunning airfryer, is it able to do a full English? One othe suggestion, can you say when cooking one of the main dishes like the suet bacon and onion, just when can I add vegetables to utilise the heat to cook the full meal all together. Love all the interesting and clever ideas, trying the garlic bread flowers this lunch time.
Yes, absolutely. Thank you. Best, Rik
Going to give it a try one day! I make my own bread these days so will need to make a sandwich loaf to make it work easier I think.
Hope you enjoy. Sounds like you know your way around the kitchen, good on you. Thank you. Best, Rik
That really looks good Rik, I remember making it at school in a basin and turning it out upside down & having it with custard, but it was just apples. It didn’t look as good as yours as I remember it 😀..Question for you Rik, why do we never make pear pie ? We make pies out of all other English fruits but never pear ❤
Great questions and if anyone knows a region that makes pear pies would be appreciated - Myself I would think, likely have been made in regions of the UK where pears are grown. The UK has several regions known for their fruit production, including parts of England like Kent, known as the "Garden of England," where a variety of fruits including pears are grown. Similarly, the West Country, which encompasses counties like Somerset, Gloucestershire, and Devon, is known for its orchards and could also be a region where pear pie or pear-based desserts might have been more common. I agree usually more apple desserts. Best, Rik
Rik its Del from south wales again. How about making a huge tray of bread pudding? We were very poor and mam used to make it out of stale bread .It was very stodgy but filled us up. I liked the almost burnt ,crusty bits.Please indulge me and take me down memory lane! Thanks Rik, Diolch!Del x
Del, bread pudding on the channel, 2 ways! Thank you. Best, Rik
I will look and make it..thanks for response
Now that is a dessert, i cannot wait to try this one. Please don't hate me for nagging i am sure you are a busy man, but will you be doing a curry video in the near future. I will still be your biggest fan whatever. Cheers.
I have cooked a couple already Andy. I'm sorry for not editing yet. I will. Best, Rik
Look at that .That is sensational 😮😮
My friend you will never eat all of that pie, on your own.. I will pop round in an hour's time.. Henrietta 😘
Kettle's on! Thank you, Henrietta. Best, Rik
Oh just look at that Rik . When are you releasing the book ?
I cant write. Thank you. Best, Rik
🥰thrift! Nowadays you have too.
I have to. You know, it helps me cook. Combining ingredients. Takes me back to all the things I have cooked and now I combine. Good food too! Thank you. Best, Rik
i shop reduced also
Every day here! Thank you. Best, Rik
I have always used a lot of reduced food. There is nothing wrong with this it saves money and food doesn't get thrown away.
Yes! Agreed. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
I love pears and in America they don’t seem to like them as much.
What a shame. More for you if they aren't buying. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef😂👍
Is this Charlotte named after any one particular woman in British History? It is a very beautiful dessert, indeed.
Check the description. Thank you. Best, Rik
I tried to make Summer Pudding and did have a really good crust/bread. It was basically a fruit compote and your supposed to soak up some of the fruit juices in the bread which seems simple but.... mine didn't soak up much juice. If you make this do you cook yours like this Charlotte? I'm wondering if there's a trick to it I missed? This one looks like a simple version of apple pie I don't see how you could go wrong there. I wish I could get all of that for less that 2 dollars though. A loaf of bread is anywhere from 1.25-5-6 dollars and Apples are usually 2.50 per lb or more depending on which one you chose.
Do they not do reduced produce where you are? I buy all the reduced stuff. Folks look at me, and I just think - I will make that, I can make that. I don't think you missed any trick - some bread absorb more than others. I think you probably made it all correctly and just unlucky. It happens to all of us. Give it another go. Best, Rik
You must have really dry bread for summer pudding, dry it in the oven if you have to. If it has any freshness in it, it will not soak up the fruit juice.
@@BackyardChef Mostly big stores around me and they will throw everything out instead of reducing most times. Maybe a bakery cart will have "day olds" but that's about it. Farmers Markets are all but gone, there maybe one in a small town, but many orchards make cider with old apples. Cider =4-5 dollars a gallon at an Orchard. Many of the discount stores get run out of town because they buy stock wholesale (or less) from store taking it off of shelves because it's get close to a sell by date or ripe.(over stocks also) Small businesses are difficult to keep running especially markets, you need the support of a small town.
Wow shocking behaviour. Why throw out? Crazy, the store still makes a little money before throwing and could be clearing, lowering the levels of waste. What a shame. Wishing you luck. Best, Rik @@bradh74
Do you have a version of banana bread? I’ve tasted some that were delicious but when I’ve tried to make it, it came out dry. I’m not sure if the recipe I have is trying to be too healthy and leaving out something important.
I'm not sure why its dry. There isn't one on the channel good suggestion. Thank you. Best, Rik
My husband goes nuts when i save the foil.
Tell him that it takes 400 years to decompose, it actually does
apples and pears, stairs
Yes. Best, Rik
I’ve always wondered what the Cornish dish named Star-gazy pie tastes like?
Good question! Fish heads sticking out - I was going to make and probably will. Best, Rik
Is that celcius temp
In the description. Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks fabulous and delicious! Can't believe he said tin foil! I do not believe they have made tin foil for decades. It's aluminum foil.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I don’t like apples, can I just use pears?
absolutely you can ! experiement with different fruits
Of course you can. Sub out use what you like. That's what cooking is about, what you enjoy. Best, Rik
