      The problem he had wasn't the mold. It was the fact that the apple filling was done completely wrong. He way overcooked it in the beginning. The apple segments should be just barely tender, not cooked down to mush. And then when you add the other ingredients it should be cooked with the lid off so that all the moisture has a chance to escape the pan when it evaporates instead of just hitting the lid and falling right back in with everything. The entire point of that step is to remove as much moisture as possible. If you end up with something with the consistency of apple sauce this is not going to work.

    Julia Child once said, "With enough butter, anything is good", and she used over 750 pounds of it on her PBS show. She's a woman after my heart. The mold is actually very versatile, once you become comfortable with the technique. That said, I love how you embrace the spirit of Julia, celebrating challenge and failure in equal measure with confidence and triumph.
    The Gravenstein apple is named after a palace in Denmark. The story goes that it was brought to Denmark in 1669 (nice) by count Carl Ahlstedt who found it at a monastery in Savoie, France. How did the apples end up at the monastery? We don't know. Could've been from Germany. He sent branches home to his brother, count Frederik the Younger, who grafted them onto an apple tree in the garden of the family's GrÄsten Palace in southern Denmark. The apple's name is the German variant of GrÄsten

      @@tmf866 So the issue with "This person did this and lived to be this old" is that it doesn't really fit with statistics over a population. There are always exceptions but they aren't the norm. If you applied Julia's diet to a large population you can guarantee a large number of them would have health issues and lower life expectancy. Anecdotal evidence really messes with people's perception.
      Everything in moderation. Avoid heavily processed stuff. Boom, you have now raised your sliders and you're less likely to die of some health related issues. You could still have a heart attack at 40 but the odds are way lower.

      Yes the Gravenstein's has it's name frÄn GrÄsten (Gravenstein in German), close to the German border. At the town you find GrÄsten Slot(Palace/Castle), which is the summer residence of the Danish royal family.
      In North America you can nowadays also find them around the town of Sebasopol, in Sonoma County, California. Also in Nova Scotia, Canada.
      Myself, I live in SkÄne(Scania), southern Sweden, and we have three apple trees in our front yard, all different types, but one of them happen to be gravenstein. And I can say, they're quite nice apples.

      Interesting! I know that monks were/are a very industrious bunch. Considering we have Champagne đŸ„‚ Thanks to a monk! I imagine that someone at the monastery propagated the apple 🍎
      We know that monks valued manual labour and the cultivation of abbey lands, and they worked hard to propagate and distribute good produce, including apple varieties. They didn’t always take personal credit for their ideas or development of methods hard work, in their modesty and, owing to the burden-sharing of labor. So, perhaps we shall never know the name of the monk(s) who gave us the Gravensteins apple... if it was a monk, at all.

    Crack the lid on the pot for the juices from the apples to reduce to half. You left the lid on, so it was too wet. You'll get a drier apple compĂŽte, so the bread won't get so soggy. Plus, it will concentrate the flavour even more. And leave it to cool before using. The pectin in the compĂŽte will solidify it. Also, you can cook Apple Charlotte in a 3pt ceramic or borosilicate basin. The metal charlotte tin gives a crispier finish to the bread though. You can do individial ones too en cocotte.

    Glad you mentioned Louisette Bertholle and Simone Beck! Creating a French cookbook that Americans could understand was actually LOUISETTE'S idea! Americans who wanted to cook French at the time had few options like recipes directly translated from French or just didn't have French ingredients. After WWII, she met Simone Beck at a culinary club and began cooking and testing recipes for the book. They were unsuccessful, but the idea was revived when they met Julia Child in 1949. Two years later, they co-founded a culinary school in Paris called "L'Ecole des trois gourmandes" (The School of the Three Hearty Eaters) for American women living there and the recipes done at the school were added to the book.

      Still I agree this recipe is very dated (aka 19th century dated) and can be modified to fit today's standard and also perhaps increase the chances of success. Instead of a ton of butter, I'd try to do pain perdu (french toast). Hopefully it would halve the amount of butter compared to this recipe (that's still a lot of butter), The toasts could be deep fried as well in oil instead of butter. I would also replace the thick apple marmelade that she makes with a sort of Tatin: precook the apples cut in halves in a pressure cooker, then pour the vanilla extract, the rum and powder with sugar and proceed as per the recipe. Let the cake cool down completely and place it in the fridge for 12 hours before unmolding. Perhaps cover with Chantilly and serve with a side of the apple purée following the original recipe if needed.
      It's still a very rich and decadent dessert but with a bit more chances to succeed I feel.

    A long, long time ago I made this in 'an early 70s Home Ec class. You're better off with challah or brioche bread than white bread. and use a tablespoon of fruit pectin in the apple mixture. Also wait until it is completely cold before unmolding, like overnight in the 'fridge cold. Then heat the pan in a sink of hot water (like unmoulding jello.) FYI: it was one of those things you only make yourself once to be able to say you did it, like phyllo dough. They made us make that, too.

      My mother made charlotte once a month on average. This is not an everyday dessert, but it is not unusual either.
      When you have lots of fruits in season, you quickly get tired of the simple pie, so a charlotte is a good way to still use your pears-apples-apricots-cherries -strawberries while getting a whole other flavour.

      And after baking it has to rest for 90+ minutes. Even hours.
      As it was, there's no structure. You can cook down applesauce but puree won't turn into I-beams. Leave a lot of apple slices whole rather than turning them all into puree. Only some of the apples are pureed and pectin is added. Whole apples slices + pectined puree + time = a more solid filling. In the oven medium toast a side of the bread used to form the sides. Bread has to still be a bit soft so it can be pressed against the mould.

    Hi Jamie. First, you're a trooper for trying to make Julia's apple Charlotte. Second, I love your tenacity. Third, I have everything I need in the house to make this dessert including a dusty under used Charlotte pan lurking, unloved, in the back of the pantry. And you've given me the courage to try to make it myself. Having watched you, I think I will sweat the apples in the sugar/lemon juice mixture over a strainer to separate the juice released by the apples and reduce that juice separately to be added back just before assembly. Also, cook the apples with the lid off to release moisture and I think I'd go for a lower height to put less stress on the finished product as gravity is a bitch. Again, I love m your temperament and spirit. Rock on, handsome.

    If you’re looking for new recipes to try, my very favourite Julia recipe is one from The French Chef Cookbook you haven’t tried yet. It’s called Broiled Chicken (both plain and saucy). It’s my go-to dinner party main, and my favourite way to cook chicken! You spatchcock a whole chicken and cook it under the broiler, constantly basting it in butter. (Of course!) I cannot recommend it enough, I cook it as a Sunday dinner for myself and my partner, and then you can use the leftover meat to shred up and make soup.
