These intensely flavored Cannoli are just as satisfying on a cold weather night when you can smell the house filling up with an aroma of baking, but are especially pleasing when family and friends are around for the Holidays.
If you desire to leave out any liqueur (in the way of Calvados seen below), simply boil 1/2 cup apple cider or juice until it reduces to 1/4 cup. Cool completely before proceeding with the recipe. Omit the schnapps altogether if desired, replacing with either rum, vanilla or mint extract.
