Author Notes
When my neighbor (thanks Nantada) got me a bagful of freshly picked apples, I immediately started wondering what recipe I could possibly create. The traditional apple pie was way too time consuming - I wanted something quick and relatively light on the stomach. That is when I came up with my version of an Apple Ricotta Pie. You need just three main ingredients - apples, ricotta cheese and graham crackers. A tasty and easy recipe that would be wonderful to make on short notice. —Shalini Singh @ Shalini's Kitchen
