Apple Ricotta Cake
Apple Ricotta Cake combines creamy ricotta cheese with almond flour and cinnamon-spiced apple slices for a moist, tender crumb with a gentle sweetness. The batter folds thinly sliced apples throughout, and the top is arranged with more apple slices sprinkled with brown sugar to create a caramelized surface. Baking until golden and clean-tested ensures a tender, lightly sweet cake that showcases the fresh apples and nutty almond meal.
