Chef tips
Grate the apple on the fine side for a softer texture. For more even shapes, lightly wet the spoon before scooping.
Substitutions
You can use well-drained cottage cheese instead of ricotta. Mozzarella can be replaced with another mild shredded cheese. For a cinnamon-free version, simply leave it out.
