One of the very best cooking channels. Your back catalogue is awesome too

Anyone who downvotes obviously likes maximum drama when peeling their pears.

In all my many years of thrifty cooking I have never made a charlotte. I make my own bread and this is a terrific way of using up leftovers - I NEVER throw bread away. I always have a few apples in the fridge so this is on my list of things to make.

[elizabethannegrey]

Lemon zest would also be a good addition.

[mirandamom]

You’re a man after my own heart. I often let the reduced produce bin decide what’s for dinner 😊. And that charlotte is the perfect use for winter fruit!

[trevor]

I have to say not only does it look good but it looked so easy to make & bake as well

[elisaastorino]

Looks great - I believe that here in the States there's something very similar called apple brown betty, although I've never had it. I made bread & butter pudding for the first time last week and it's so much better than plain bread pudding... ate too much and gave myself a stomach ache...

These days, I can't imagine who has the money to buy perfect produce and full price groceries. Every time I shop, it's more and more expensive. If it doesn't turn around soon, we're really going to suffer. Of course our leaders don't care - they never suffer for anything.

A great lesson in both yummmy and thrift!

Loved this so much, nan did it with apples and also made crab apple jelly so she would put some on top of the charlotte while we never wanted to try the crab apple jelly on our toast and we didnt know it was on the apple charlotte...she never told us for a few years, but once we knew, she could never make enough of the jelly to keep it in the ate it all in a few days and even washed out the jars expecting more..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The dish was named after Queen Charlotte who was married to George III in 18th century UK. Best served with ice cream and or cream. Like this twist to receipe using pears. Delicious.

🇨🇦 I thought YouTube put the wrong video on as I saw an apple pie but you used bread. I was astonished, I have never seen this done before, amazing.

[lindayoung]

Happiest lady here 🎉I found your channel. Sitting on my kitchen counter are apples and pears that need to be used❤not wasted. This Will tomorrow’s breakfast with coffee. 😋 from Oklahoma USA

[TuckerSP]

Wonderful! Great way to make a quick desert with old bread and discounted fruit! It's even tastier than pastry to me, the buttery toasted bread with the delicious luscious warm fruit.

[evocationart]

What a great dish and so economical. I’m a food rescuer and get loads of free fruit and bread. I shall be making this for sure. 😊❤

[DelPayne]

Rik you made me salivate with your pear and apple Charlotte. Mmmm. I am still tuning in late evening and then fall asleep with a smile on my face. You are a lovely soul with a passion for cooking in a simple but fabulous way. I love your banter. Look at that ! Lol. Thank you, Del x

[hannabuck]

Very nice. In the Black Forest we call this recipe "Ofenschlupfer" means slip in the oven. At the beginning of the 20th century there we're a lot of poor people in the region and they took the bread, the fruits and milk or cream to make this.
Your way to arrange the bread is amazing. Thank you so much

[erinnorquist]

Beautiful! I'm so happy I found your channel Chef!

[deirdrelewis]

I’ve a good friend who will absolutely LOVE this. As soon as apples come back into season, I’ll be making this for her!

[kernow]

Rik, your channel is my favourite find of 2024. You make me want to attempt all your recipes. My HYSapientia air fryer arrived today. I'm so excited to try this apple and pear Charlotte.

[jennyt]

Wow. That's amazing and a delicious change from crumble or pastry. I will definitely have to make this.
