The Simple Apple Cake is a perfect dessert for a snack or to serve as an end-of-meal dessert. Easy and quick, simple because puff pastry is used as a base, jam, ricotta, and of course apples are added, and into the oven for 35 minutes. In no time, you will prepare an amazing dessert with minimal effort. In the past, I have also made other puff pastry desserts like the puff pastry cake with apples and cream or the delicious Nutella twists! This apple cake is a dessert guaranteed to succeed, come on and make it, and let me know, big kiss Chicca!

How to make the simple apple cake
Place the ricotta in a bowl.
Add the sugar and beaten egg, then mix and set aside.
Unroll the puff pastry with its paper, on top of a baking tray, and place another one on top, roll the edges to form a crust, then prick it with the tines of a fork.
Fill with the jam and with crumbled cookies and ricotta.
Finish with thinly sliced apples and sprinkle with brown sugar.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 40 minutes or until golden.
Storage of the simple apple cake
This type of cake is best consumed on the same day, as it loses its crispness the next day. If you have leftovers, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
