Gnocchi di Mele (Apple Gnocchi) brings a sweet twist to traditional gnocchi and is a delightful way to combine comfort food with fruit!

1

Start by peeling and mashing the apples in a bowl until smooth. This should take about 5 minutes.

2

In another bowl, combine the mashed apples with sugar, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well for about 2 minutes until everything is combined.

3

Gradually add the flour into the apple mixture, kneading gently for about 5-10 minutes until a soft dough forms.

4

Once the dough is ready, divide it into small pieces and roll them into long ropes, about 1 cm thick. Cut them into small pieces, approximately 2 cm each.

5

As you prepare the gnocchi, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches; they are done when they rise to the surface (typically in about 3-4 minutes).

6

In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown. This will take about 5 minutes.

7

Once the gnocchi are cooked, gently transfer them to the pan with the brown butter, tossing to coat for 2 minutes.

8

Serve warm, optionally garnishing with additional sugar or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

• Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
• Incorporate a fruit sauce, like a raspberry or strawberry sauce, for a colorful topping.
• Try infusing the dough with citrus zest like lemon or orange for a fresh twist.

• Be gentle while kneading to avoid tough gnocchi.
• Taste the apple mixture before adding the flour; adjust sweetness if necessary.
• For fluffier gnocchi, ensure not to overwork the dough.
