Instructions
- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, 3 tbsp maple syrup, vanilla powder, and ¼ tsp Ceylon cinnamon. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed, or whisk vigorously by hand, until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust sweetness with a little more maple syrup if needed.

In a separate bowl, toss the apple slices with the apple cider vinegar and 1 tbsp maple syrup until evenly coated. The vinegar keeps the apples from browning and adds a gentle brightness.
