Method
Crust Preparation
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Egg Yolks
Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Chill the Dough
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
Prepare the Ricotta Filling
In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, candied orange peel, lemon zest, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Assembling and Baking
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Add Filling
Pour the ricotta filling into the crust, smoothing it out evenly.
Bake the Pie
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden.
Cool and Serve
Allow the pie to cool completely. Before serving, sprinkle with a mixture of powdered sugar and ground cinnamon.
