Apple Ravioli
8 servings
90 minutes
Apple ravioli is a delicate and aromatic dish that combines the traditions of Italian cuisine with a love for fruity desserts. Its origin traces back to classic ravioli, but instead of the usual meat or cheese filling, it features a sweet combination of apples, bananas, raisins, and cinnamon. The thin dough made from flour, eggs, and vegetable oil becomes soft and elastic, while the fruit filling adds freshness and sweetness. Boiled ravioli garnished with cinnamon, lemon balm, and berry jam turn into an exquisite dessert that can be served warm or chilled. Perfect for a cozy family tea time or festive table.
