Charlotte, or in Russian - Sharlotka, is one of the most popular pies in Russia and it's so simple to make. Russian Sharlotka was invented in London in the 19th century by French Cook Marie Antoine Careme, serving to Russian Tsar Alexander 1. In the beginning the name of the dish was Charlotte à la Parisienne (Parisian Sharlotka). Later on, the dessert became famous all over the world by the name Charlotte Russe. <br />There are few other versions of the etymology of the name. I like the version, which is probably less accurate, is a love story about a simple cook. He fell in love with a woman named Charlotte. He created this dessert to attract the woman dear to his heart. <br />The original recipe, which is made with apples and is so dear to every Russian has been modified many times during the years and each good home cook, has their own version. <br />Here is my recipe for a Summer Sharlotka. <br />
