APOPHIS
How old will you be in 2029? That is how old you will be when a large asteroid, called Apophis, comes very, very
close to our planet. Asteroids are rocks that circle in space and sometimes come closer to the Earth and even hit
it. Most asteroids are very small and, if you are lucky, you can sometimes see them in the night sky as "falling
stars".
Most scientists believe that one large asteroid, about six to twelve kilometers across, hit the Earth and killed all
the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago. Apophis is also very big. Scientists discovered it in 2004. They say it is
about 300 meters across. That's about the size of a large sports stadium. According to the scientists' results, it is
not huge enough to destroy our world, but it is large enough to destroy several cities. It will probably miss the
Earth, they say, but it will be much closer than the Moon for a few minutes.
If you don't find that scary, the same asteroid will visit our planet a few years later in 2036. Again, it will miss our
planet, but again by a very small distance...probably. The only thing we are sure is that all the eyes and
telescopes in every country in the world will be watching the sky during such important days.

Peel the apples and cut them into small cubes.
Take a baking dish, flour it lightly and smear with oil. Put the apples in it, and cover with the egg-flour mixture.
The apples should be completely covered with the batter.

Смешиваем в мисочке муку, корицу, крахмал и соль.
Яйца взбиваем с сахаром около 3-4 минут при электровенчика. Масса должна посветлеть и немножко увеличиться в объеме.
Продолжая взбивать, постепенно вводим мучную смесь в яичную. Взбиваем, пока не образуется однородная масса.
Яблоки чистим и нарезаем на небольшие кубики.
Берем форму для запекания, слегка присыпаем мукой и смазываем маслом. Выкладываем в нее яблоки, сверху заливаем получившейся яично-мучной смесью.
Яблоки должны быть полностью покрытыми тестом.
Ставим в духовку, разогретую до 180 градусов, и запекаем 30-40 минут - в зависимости от особенностей вашей духовки. Как только шарлотка покроется золотистой корочкой, зубочисткой проверяем готовность блюда.
Даем шарлотке немного остынуть, посыпаем сахарной пудрой, и шарлотку можно подавать. Вот и все - просто и вкусно! :)
