Apple sharlotka is a traditional Russian-style apple pie, where the filling is on the bottom and batter-type crust is on the top. Some sharlotkas are made with one type of apple, such as Golden Delicious, while others use a variety. For this recipe, you can use a variety of apples, such as Fuji, Braeburn, or Granny Smith, or really whatever you have or want to use up. Sometimes the apples are chopped and sometimes they are thinly sliced—it simply depends on the baker. The apples are flavored with just a little lemon zest and juice, so the possibilities for this versatile recipe are truly endless.
