Apricot tart filled with cheese (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ricotta

'cheese' is the definition.
(ricotta is a kind of cheese)

'apricot tart filled with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates a hidden word.
'RICOTTA' is hidden in the letters of 'apricot tart filled'.

(Other definitions for ricotta that I've seen before include "Cheese - Riot Act (anag)" , "cheese found" , "One soft cheese" , "may come from Italian press?" , "dairy produce" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
