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.
Wonderful! That's what this channel is about. Thank you. Best, Rik
C'mon we're at home. There's no need for drama. No moaning. I love your way of cooking.
Thank you. No panic. Best, Rik
One of the very best cooking channels. Your back catalogue is awesome too
Wow, thank you! Appreciated, John. Best, Rik
Every time I watch your channel, I say to myself, "Ooooooh, I've got to make that dish too!" You NEVER disappoint.
That's a good thing! Thank you. Best, Rik
Me too, I love this channel.
Anyone who downvotes obviously likes maximum drama when peeling their pears.
There are many drama folks about! Ha ha ha. Best, Rik
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!
Agreed! Why waste it - buy it cheap and put a good dinner on the table. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef And those crusts make good breadcrumbs!
Yes, they are in the freezer. Best, Rik@@mirandamom1346
You’re the Bob Ross of cooking.
Eh, thanks I think. Best, Rik
It's a compliment I'd say.
It's a nod to your chill, no stress, no drama demeanor. 😉
Thank you. Best, Rik@@GreenGrasshoppa
Loved this so much, nan did it with apples and pears......she also made crab apple jelly so she would put some on top of the charlotte while serving..... 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 pantry.....we ate it all in a few days and even washed out the jars expecting more..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing, loved reading this. Best, Rik
My Nanny made apple and quince jelly (jam).
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.
Yes I agree with you. It's a shame that the folks at the top of the tree aren't in touch with those planting and growing that tree! There certainly isn't much left in the purse these days. Good luck, wishing you all the best, Rik
Same here in the UK
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.
Thank you, I agree with all of that! Best, Rik
A great lesson in both yummmy and thrift!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you. Best, Rik
I have never seen a pie(pudding)made with bread like this...I need to get out more. I see hundreds of variations on this. This is brilliant, thanks Rik.
Thank you. Nice and easy to use up! Best, Rik
Beautiful! I'm so happy I found your channel Chef!
I'm pleased you are here. Thank you. - its just Rik . Best, Rik
This recipe i will definitely do.
Thank you. Best, Rik
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!
Sounds like a good plan. Thank you. Best, Rik
Some apples are in season now .. ask your grocer!
One of my favourite sayings is "I own a paring knife" I look for salvageable fruit & vegetables when the price is reduced. Great to maximize the variety of my cooking and eating choices and extend my pensioner's fixed income budget. This allows me to try creating something tasty with odd combinations, Apples go well with onions and no one will know that your garden compost pile also ate well.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Economical, delicious and so easy! Your so lovely to watch! I’m so glad I’ve found you and subscribed. It’s like watching my English heritage come to life. Blessings on you for not giving up despite setbacks, and cracking on. You’re an inspiration to every generation of people and home cooks everywhere. All my love!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much! 😊Wow! Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef ❤️
Wow. That's amazing and a delicious change from crumble or pastry. I will definitely have to make this.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I love reduced specials! On chuck out I call it - because if you don't buy this now it's going in the bin lol. The Vietnamese supermarkets always had the best chuck out deals - like a whole carrier bag of fruit for one dollar! I think a lot of people turned their nose up because some of them were bruised or over ripe - but I'm like there's 20 Nashi pears in the bag, by the time I cut off the bad bits, I've still got 15 Nashi pears worth - for one dollar! Some people are so stuck up when it comes to food lol.
Agreed! Wholeheartedly. Good on ya. Best, Rik
What a great way to use left over bread. It looks delicious.
It really is! Thank you. Best, Rik
I would always go look at the mark down section. Large family tight budget. That Charlotte is 🤩 Cheers Rik.
Thank you. Yes the purse seems to be empty more often. Best, Rik
I love your low stress approach
Thank you. No stress in cooking. Best, Rik
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.
Thanks for the info! Best, Rik
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. 😊❤
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks so yummy Rik, I might try it with Light brown sugar and cinnamon mix sprinkled on the top before baking, thank you for sharing another great recipe 😊
Mouth watering here! Thank you. Best, Rik
Lemon zest would also be a good addition.
Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
My mouths watering!
Mine too! Thank you. Best, Rik
My mum used to make apple & blackberry Charlotte & I haven't had it for years & I loved it. Thanks Rik for posting this 😊
You are so welcome. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
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
Wonderful! Love to Oklahoma. Best, Rik
You never cease to continue to impress me Rik, another fantastic bake thank you. Never heard of this before, but definitely one i will be trying
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much, Best, Rik
My husband goes nuts when i save the foil.
Tell him that it takes 400 years to decompose, it actually does
Another delicious dish to go on the “must do” list - sensational
Hope you enjoy. Best, Rik
🇨🇦 I thought UA-cam 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.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Look at that .That is sensational 😮😮
My friend you will never eat all of that pie, on your own.. I will pop round in an hour's time.. Henrietta 😘
Kettle's on! Thank you, Henrietta. Best, Rik
😋😋😋
Thank you. Best, Rik
Reminds me of my youth. Apple trees in garden. Mum cooking Apple Charlotte. (different from your recipe - she used a large, open glass dish, Buttered the dish well. Buttered Baker's Bread, layered sliced apples and sugar and buttered bread. White sugar on top. The juice of the apples mixed with the sugar and butter and made toffee and toffee sauce. Served with Custard. Yum).
Oh wow! Mouth watering. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
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.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks so delicious. Have to make this❤
P. S. I allways hunt reduced product. Saves pretty penny👍
Yes it does! Hope you enjoy it. Thank you. Best, Rik
I have never had apple Charlotte. Definitely going to try this. Yum yum
Thank you. Best, Rik
I love pears and in America they don’t seem to like them as much.
What a shame. More for you if they aren't buying. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef😂👍
I have always used a lot of reduced food. There is nothing wrong with this it saves money and food doesn't get thrown away.
Yes! Agreed. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
Spectacular! 👏♥️
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh, yummm, Rick! Yuuummmm!!! 😘❤️🌹🇺🇸
Oh yes! Thank you. Best, Rik
I love a nice firm pair !
Oops, I mean pear! Lol.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Custard or vanilla ice cream ? Both definitely. Instead of mixed spice I use star anise when cooking apple. Baked stuffed apples, spam fritters the list is endless!
Yes, lovely. You could also use 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg. Best, Rik
I keep a loaf of bread in the refrigerator for french toast. This looks like a great second use.
Great idea! Thank you. Best, Rik
Yum that looks so good Rik 🍎🍐🍏, thank you , and I love yellow sticker (reduced items) it’s the first place we go in the supermarket you never know what gems you will find , and you can make some great cheap meals with a little imagination and your great ideas and recipes 👍Amanda xx
I just agree with you so much! Thank you. Best, Rik
A delicious recipe Rik....love a good old fashioned dessert using bread 😊 with a nice drop of custard..... think you've just given me my dessert recipe for this weekend.... thankyou 😊
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
apples and pears, stairs
Yes. Best, Rik
That brings back memories, with custard.
Lovely. Best, Rik
This recipe made me subscribe. simple to make and it's simply beautiful. Im not a dessert eater but my family is and i struggle to make desserts but i believe i can pull this off and my family will be pleased. Thank you
Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks fabulous and delicious! Can't believe he said tin foil! I do not believe they have made tin foil for decades. It's aluminum foil.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yummm❤
So good! Thank you. Best, Rik
Love cooked fruits 👍 how about a Eve’s pudding for your next one Rik ?
I have made it - however its similar ingredients, i.e. the apple will upload in a bit. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef I will look for it 👍
Made mine with products in the house so it ended up as 'not a Charlotte but different'. Didn't have pears so used some preserved rhubarb I'd made last year with the apples and some spicy fruit mix left over from the Eccles cakes I'd made yesterday. Turned out magnificent, thanks for the recipe and and the methods of making.v
Fantastic! That's what this channel is about. Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks delicious I love apple Charlotte not tried with pear never know what to cook with pear so will try thank you 😊
It's so good! Pear can be used in many things. Best, Rik
That's a beauty!
Thank you. Best, Rik
❣❣ Looks Delish!! ❣❣

Fantastic Rick

OMG Rik that looks amazing can't wait to give this a try thanks for another great video 😊
You are so welcome. thank you. Best, Rik
Going to give it a try one day! I make my own bread these days so will need to make a sandwich loaf to make it work easier I think.
Hope you enjoy. Sounds like you know your way around the kitchen, good on you. Thank you. Best, Rik
Bang on cookery advice in this video, you and i are both Yorkshiremen, no nonsense cookery, absolutely, don't stress about this must be happen or this recipe must be followed exactly, yes, Cook to your individual taste 😊 innit Rik
Always mate, always. Taste and adjust. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef ont same page mate 😉
Nice one. Best, Rik@@neilanthonyhaywardlewis8978
Well what a great way to use old bread , instead of bread and butter pudding, just a thought could you make a quiche type base doing this without the top.
Yes. Allen indeed. many things! I will make some over time. Didn't want to bore folks with too simple cooking. Best, Rik
looks great, never seen anything like it
Thanks for watching. Best, Rik
Just found your channel a couple of days ago and subscribed- so many recipes here I want to try
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh just look at that Rik . When are you releasing the book ?
I cant write. Thank you. Best, Rik
That came out great. My Mrs saw this and has requested I make apple puff pastries for afters tonight. Super easy, canned apple pie filling in store bought puff pastry egg washed and sprinkled with sugar. Have you considered making a Woolton pie? I love the potato pastry and use it for chicken, bacon and leek pies too.
That is awesome! Well done mate. I'm sure you are in my kitchen! I've just made a version of.. will have to edit it now! Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Which one? The Lord Woolton, the apple puff or the chicken?
i shop reduced also
Every day here! Thank you. Best, Rik
Just found your channel and I’m drooling!! You have a soothing voice and it’s a pleasure to listen too. Everything looks delicious. I’m going to make your bread and butter pudding tomorrow, it looks Devine and the recipe is so simple even a kitchen challenged person like me should be able to make . This apple pie looks amazing too. Thanks for taking the time to share your culinary knowledge.
Welcome!! Thank you for your kind words. Just take it steady and everything will work out. Nothing hard on this channel. All recipes work, just Adjust to taste. We all like something different. Best, Rik
Great family affordable pudding Rik. I have introduced you to my wife (Thai chef) she loves the channel and wants to try. All the best from Pattaya today.
Hi Colin. Is that Thai Chef as in the youtube. Or a Chef? Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef she is a chef and wants to try cooking your recipes.
Cook away. My wife is a Chef too!I get watched cooking Thai, however that is why all the Thai recipes on here are real. I wish her good luck! Best, Rik@@colinsmith7576
I have been looking through all the videos you have done. It’s amazing and I have so much to catch up on. So far I have about half a dozen savoury dishes to do and the same with sweet desserts, including a favourite of mine, Eccles cakes. This looks delicious…😊
Wow, thank you! Best, Rik
Looks fabulous and a healthy option too. 😀
Thank you. It's a nice pleasant tasty one! A change on pastry apple pie. Best, Rik
specially good for me as I canny have pastry... I would never have thought of this as an option. Would there be a savoury equivalent? Another good one, RIk. @@BackyardChef
Yes I will post a quick one in a couple of days. Best, Rik@@AdoptAGreyhound59
Cheers, Rik @@BackyardChef
You are welcome. Best, Rik@@AdoptAGreyhound59
🥰thrift! Nowadays you have too.
I have to. You know, it helps me cook. Combining ingredients. Takes me back to all the things I have cooked and now I combine. Good food too! Thank you. Best, Rik
Yes, just look at that like it very much, i will try with bread never seen it before with bread. THANKS FOR IT. MALTA eu.
You are welcome 😊Love to Malta. Best, Rik
That really looks good Rik, I remember making it at school in a basin and turning it out upside down & having it with custard, but it was just apples. It didn’t look as good as yours as I remember it 😀..Question for you Rik, why do we never make pear pie ? We make pies out of all other English fruits but never pear ❤
Great questions and if anyone knows a region that makes pear pies would be appreciated - Myself I would think, likely have been made in regions of the UK where pears are grown. The UK has several regions known for their fruit production, including parts of England like Kent, known as the "Garden of England," where a variety of fruits including pears are grown. Similarly, the West Country, which encompasses counties like Somerset, Gloucestershire, and Devon, is known for its orchards and could also be a region where pear pie or pear-based desserts might have been more common. I agree usually more apple desserts. Best, Rik
Oh my goodness. That looks fabulous. I don't do posh. I'm more rustic. It's a pity you're so far away, I could be your taster. Another great recipe and tutorial. Thank you, Rik. P.S. I'm making beef olives for my dinner today, with colcannon and green beans.
Oh wow, like you say, I could be your taster. Thank you. Best, Rik
By saying you do Rustic, it's something posh people say.:-)
Love your videos. Proper food as my Mum and auntie used to make. Any chance of showing how to make a favourite of mine - tripe and onions? 😊
Great idea! Best, Rik
Now that is a dessert, i cannot wait to try this one. Please don't hate me for nagging i am sure you are a busy man, but will you be doing a curry video in the near future. I will still be your biggest fan whatever. Cheers.
I have cooked a couple already Andy. I'm sorry for not editing yet. I will. Best, Rik
Love all the meal ideas you are showing, I have a question, can I cook scrambled eggs in the stunning airfryer, is it able to do a full English? One othe suggestion, can you say when cooking one of the main dishes like the suet bacon and onion, just when can I add vegetables to utilise the heat to cook the full meal all together. Love all the interesting and clever ideas, trying the garlic bread flowers this lunch time.
Yes, absolutely. Thank you. Best, Rik
I’ve always wondered what the Cornish dish named Star-gazy pie tastes like?
Good question! Fish heads sticking out - I was going to make and probably will. Best, Rik
I tried to make Summer Pudding and did have a really good crust/bread. It was basically a fruit compote and your supposed to soak up some of the fruit juices in the bread which seems simple but.... mine didn't soak up much juice. If you make this do you cook yours like this Charlotte? I'm wondering if there's a trick to it I missed? This one looks like a simple version of apple pie I don't see how you could go wrong there. I wish I could get all of that for less that 2 dollars though. A loaf of bread is anywhere from 1.25-5-6 dollars and Apples are usually 2.50 per lb or more depending on which one you chose.
Do they not do reduced produce where you are? I buy all the reduced stuff. Folks look at me, and I just think - I will make that, I can make that. I don't think you missed any trick - some bread absorb more than others. I think you probably made it all correctly and just unlucky. It happens to all of us. Give it another go. Best, Rik
You must have really dry bread for summer pudding, dry it in the oven if you have to. If it has any freshness in it, it will not soak up the fruit juice.
@@BackyardChef Mostly big stores around me and they will throw everything out instead of reducing most times. Maybe a bakery cart will have "day olds" but that's about it. Farmers Markets are all but gone, there maybe one in a small town, but many orchards make cider with old apples. Cider =4-5 dollars a gallon at an Orchard. Many of the discount stores get run out of town because they buy stock wholesale (or less) from store taking it off of shelves because it's get close to a sell by date or ripe.(over stocks also) Small businesses are difficult to keep running especially markets, you need the support of a small town.
Wow shocking behaviour. Why throw out? Crazy, the store still makes a little money before throwing and could be clearing, lowering the levels of waste. What a shame. Wishing you luck. Best, Rik @@bradh74
Do you have a version of banana bread? I’ve tasted some that were delicious but when I’ve tried to make it, it came out dry. I’m not sure if the recipe I have is trying to be too healthy and leaving out something important.
I'm not sure why its dry. There isn't one on the channel good suggestion. Thank you. Best, Rik
What a great bargain! $1.58 for a dessert to serve several people. I would expect to pay 4 to 5 dollars per serving at a restaurant for such a nice dessert.(pudding)
Exactly. I have been cooking bargains for a while. Normally, hardly anything wrong with the produce its been stored correctly. Best, Rik
I would eat that crust...of course it makes for naturally curly hair...well, according to Peanuts characters if you're old enough to remember...and I'm old enough not to have enough hair to curl.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Just died and gone to heaven!
Wow! Thank you. Best, Rik
I don’t like apples, can I just use pears?
absolutely you can ! experiement with different fruits
Of course you can. Sub out use what you like. That's what cooking is about, what you enjoy. Best, Rik
