Warm, soft and lightly sweet, this flourless apple charlotte tastes like a cozy baked dessert but cooks in the microwave in just four minutes. Ground oats give it a tender, cake-like texture, while the apple slices on top turn beautifully soft and fragrant. It is the perfect quick treat when you want something homemade without turning on the oven.
Ingredients
- 50 g (1.75 oz) ground rolled oats or oat bran
- 1 large egg
- Sweetener to taste
- A pinch of vanillin (or a few drops vanilla extract)
- 1 small apple
Instructions
- Peel the apple; dice half and slice the other half for decoration.
- Mix all the ingredients, then fold in the diced apple.
- Pour into a microwave-safe dish and cook on high for 4 minutes.

Tips
- Let the charlotte rest for a minute after microwaving so it sets and is easier to serve.
