Charlotte with Apples and Pears

Charlotte with apples and pears can add variety to a series of similar ones, which are traditionally prepared only with apples. It will seem strange to you, but our version is really different from the classic one! Pears not only add special, sweet-honey notes to the charlotte taste, but also make its texture more moist and tender. A pie like this is especially good with a mug of good, cool milk or even low-fat cream (unless, of course, you are not particularly worried about the figure). In general, charlotte with apples and pears should be prepared without fail, especially since it is a simple, uncomfortable occupation, therefore it is very pleasant.

Ingredients

• ripe strong pears - 2 pcs.
• sweet and sour apples - 2 pcs.
• lemon juice - 2-3 tbsp. l.
