Baked apples with ricotta
Description
For baking, firm apple varieties work best. Apples of the "Antonovka" variety will add an exquisite aroma to the dessert. The baked apple should not fall apart, but should be easily pierced with a wooden skewer. Instead of ricotta, you can use high-fat cottage cheese or another creamy cheese. Instead of honey, you can use sugar or another sweetener.
