Directions
When it came to deciding what to make for the Russian Grand Prix, starter and mains were easy but I could not think of a single Russian dessert I had eaten. It was time for a visit to Pinterest. Everywhere I looked ‘Apple Sharlotka’ popped up. It ticked all the boxes. It was easy to make, the kids could get involved and I was sure that they would love it. I was right.
I found the recipe on ‘Smitten Kitchen‘ and most other recipes point back to this one. We made ours in advance which also made life easier.
