2 tbspn | lemon juice |
1 tbspn | lemon zest (optional) |
500g | plain flour |

1 | Preheat oven to 180C (160C fan-forced). Grease a bundt tin with butter and dust with flour. |
2 | Peel the apples & remove core. Chop into small cubes and place into a bowl. Add lemon juice (this prevents the apple from browning) and toss to combine. |
3 | In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar and Lievito Vanigliato (or the alternative of combined baking powder & vanilla extract). If you like, you can also add some lemon zest and cinnamon for flavour. |
4 | Then stir through Smooth Ricotta, eggs, milk and butter. Mix with a wooden spoon until ingredients are combined well. Add chopped apples and stir through again. |
5 | Spoon mixture into bundt tin and bake for 30-40 minutes. |
6 | Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Then turn out on a plate, dust with icing sugar. |
