Difficulty People Time
Medium 8 65 minuti
Ingredients
300 g flour
230 g butter
90 g sugar
2 yolks
500 g fresh ricotta cheese Sterilgarda
3 honey
50 g cane sugar
lemon zest
1 to taste ground cinnamon
Preparation
  1. Put 180g of butter and sugar in a bowl and stir with a spoon so that they mix perfectly. Add the egg yolk and let it absorb into the butter and sugar.
  2. Add the flour little by little, stirring first with a spoon and then kneading with your hands until you get a smooth mixture. Leave the shortcrust pastry to rest in the fridge.
  3. Place the Ricotta Sterilgarda, the brown sugar, the second egg yolk and the grated zest of an untreated lemon in a bowl and mix with a spoon.
  4. Peel the apples, remove the core and cut them into cubes.
  5. Place 50g of butter in a pan and melt it, then add the apples and cook for about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the apples to the ricotta mixture, add a pinch of cinnamon and mix.
  7. Remove the shortcrust pastry from the fridge, work it quickly with your hands, place it between two sheets of baking paper and roll it out with a rolling pin until it is about 1 centimetre thick.
  8. Roll out the shortcrust pastry in a well-buttered tart pan and prick it so that it doesn't swell during cooking.
  9. Place the filling on the shortcrust pastry base and level the surface.
  10. Bake the ricotta and apple tart in a preheated oven at 180° for 40 minutes.
