Steps:
- Mix ricotta, honey and cinnamon.
- Spoon mixture into a piping bag with a star tip. I use a #18, but any size will work as long as it is large enough for the ricotta mixture to be piped through it.
- Take each apricot and roll it in your fingers to reveal the hole made when the pits were removed. Pipe the ricotta mixture into this hole, filling the apricot.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to fan 140C/conventional 160C/gas 3. Tip all the ingredients for the base, except for the egg, into a food processor and blend until like breadcrumbs. Add the egg and blend again to make a paste. Scrape onto the base of a greased 24cm loose-bottomed springform tin, spread with a spatula then bake for 25 minutes until risen and just set.
- Meanwhile beat the ricotta in a bowl with the eggs, soured cream, sugar and vanilla, then when the base has had its 25 minutes, take it out of the oven. Quickly scatter the apricots over the base and pour the cheese mixture on top. Return to the oven for 50 minutes more until the mixture has set and is starting to turn golden round the edges.
- Run a knife round the cake to release it from the sides of the tin then cool and chill. You can make this a day ahead.
- Transport the tin covered with cling film or foil, then turn out and dust with icing sugar when you get there.

Tips:
- Choose the right celery: Look for celery stalks that are firm and crisp, with no blemishes or wilting. The stalks should also be about the same size so that they cook evenly.
- Prepare the celery: Wash the celery stalks thoroughly and trim off the ends. Cut the celery stalks into 3-4 inch pieces.
- Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, dried apricots, honey, and chopped nuts. Mix well until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Stuff the celery: Fill each celery piece with the ricotta mixture. You can use a spoon or a piping bag to make this easier.
- Bake the celery: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stuffed celery pieces in a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the celery is tender and the filling is heated through.
- Serve the celery: Serve the stuffed celery warm or at room temperature. You can garnish with additional chopped nuts or herbs, if desired.
