Hi Andrea, Is this it?
APPLE POCKETS Makes 5 pastries
1 package active dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water (105-115F) 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter 1 cup low-fat milk 1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese 6 tablespoons granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt FOR THE FILLING: 1/2 cup apple butter 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch FOR THE GLAZE AND TOPPING: 1 large egg, lightly beaten Granulated sugar
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
2. In a small saucepan, cook butter and milk over low heat until butter melts. Cool to lukewarm (95-105 degrees F). Stir into yeast mixture. Let stand for 2 minutes.
3. Stir in ricotta cheese, sugar and salt. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time until a dough forms.
4. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and satiny, about 10 minutes. Place dough in a large greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1 hour.
5. For filling, mix together all ingredients until well blended.
6. Punch down dough. Turn out onto a floured surface. Using a floured rolling pin, roll to a 20 x 20-inch square. Cut into 4-inch squares.
7. Spread filling onto the center of each square. Fold dough over to make triangular pockets. Lightly moisten edges of pastries; pinch edges to seal.
8. Place pockets on a greased baking sheet. Cover loosely with a damp cloth and let rise until puffy, about 30 minutes.
9. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush pockets with 3gg; sprinkle with sugar.
10. Bake pockets until golden, 10 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack to cool.
