   • In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, flour, ricotta cheese, and finely diced onion. Mix until well combined.

2. Grate Potatoes:

   • Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or a food processor. Squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

3. Combine Ingredients:

   • Add the grated potatoes to the egg mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

4. Make Applesauce:

   • In a heavy saucepan, combine sliced and diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the mixture has thickened. Allow it to cool to room temperature or refrigerate until ready to use.

5. Cook Latkes:

   • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of canola oil to the skillet.
   • Drop 1/4 cup portions of the latke mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly with a spatula. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Cook in batches, adding more oil as needed, and drain on paper towels.

6. Keep Warm:

   • Once cooked, transfer the latkes to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while you finish cooking the remaining batches.

7. Serve:

   • Serve the warm latkes with the homemade applesauce on the side. Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors!
