Apple cinnamon cannoli served

Apple Cinnamon Cannoli

Cannoli is one of the most well-known icons of Sicilian confectionery, made for centuries for festive occasions. The apple cinnamon version combines Italian traditions with the atmosphere of the autumn season for a unique, modern taste experience. As the aroma of freshly grated apples and warm cinnamon fills the kitchen, the warmth of home and all the beauty of autumn immediately arrive. The key to the recipe is properly drained apples and good quality ricotta. It is also worth paying attention to mixing: the cream should not be too runny, otherwise it will soak the dough. This cannoli is the perfect choice for a cool afternoon, for autumn entertaining, or even as a dessert during Halloween. It also goes fantastically with warm tea or mulled wine.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Combine the grated apple with the lemon juice to prevent browning. Then, squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or through a strainer. Tip: If you leave too much moisture in, the filling may soak the shells.

    2

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Then, add the squeezed apple and gently mix. Tip: For a smoother texture, you can purée the filling with an immersion blender for a few seconds.

    3

    Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and chill for at least 15 minutes to make it easier to work with. Tip: If you don't have a piping bag, a sturdy plastic bag with a corner snipped off will do.

    4

    Gently fill the cannoli shells with the chilled apple-cinnamon cream. Pipe the filling in from both ends to evenly fill the shells. Tip: Always fill just before serving, otherwise the crispy shell will soften.

    5

    Dust the top of the cannoli with powdered sugar, then sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon for an even more fragrant effect. Tip: Use a fine-mesh sieve for a beautiful and even dusting.

    6

    Serve fresh on a neutral-colored plate or rustic ceramic dish as a dessert or with an afternoon coffee. Tip: It pairs well with a cup of cinnamon latte or apple tea.
