How to make Apple Ricotta cake
Preheat oven to 375 F
Prep apples .. Core and if you like you can peel them but it is not necessary . I only peel Granny Smith apples since their skin is thick
Toss sliced apples with lemon juice and set aside
In a large bowl add eggs and sugar and beat well till it is smooth and fluffy
Add ricotta, butter , milk, vanilla extract and lemon zest and beat well
Add flour, cornstarch and baking powder . Mix until no flour is visible
Prep your 9 inch pan and pour batter in it .
Arrange sliced apples on top of your batter . I like to start on the outside and interlock my slices till I reach middle
Bake for 45- 55 min until skewer comes out clean when inserted in the middle
Let it cool of completely to decorate with confection sugar
