Have you ever heard of a fruit Charlotte? According to MSN, this dessert was born in England and dates back to the 17th century, but became a favorite during the tough times of World War II. Made by lining a ring mold with thinly sliced bread and then adding a cooked fruit filling, Charlottes were a great way to use up stale bread as well as any fruit that was in abundance, from apples, to plums, to apricots, and were a way to get dessert on the table without having to buy special ingredients.
Today's recipes for fruit Charlottes are a bit more extravagant, typically calling for heavily buttered slices of bread, which, in the heat of the oven, will crisp up nicely and create a crust for the fruit purée inside the mold (via The Guardian). The dessert is often served in a pool of custard, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Whether bare-bones or fancied up, it's a warming dessert with humble roots that has survived the test of time.
