Like the recipe stated, I drained the ricotta 24 hours in advance but when I awoke the following morning, there was no excess moisture in the bowl. How odd, I thought, so proceeded to squeeze my cheese cloth till a little of the water dribbled out. I left the bowl a satisfied woman. The apples were also super easy, I've never made caramel before but found it quite an easy process, even leaving it to catch a little bit of Scrubs on TV. I had to force myself to leave the caramelized apples alone at one point, it looks so delicious I was itching for a little spoon full.
They browned a little more than I would have liked but that's all down to my vanity and wanting to be washed and dried for my boy coming home from work. They toasted up a little while I was soaping myself in the bath, ooops. Although I really enjoyed these turnovers I think I'd prefer something in place of the ricotta, maybe a mascarpone based filling would be nice. I just think it needs to be a little creamier, maybe that's just me.
I will definitely make these again, so easy, so tasty, so satisfying. Check out the Sweet Melissa Sunday blogroll for everyone else's attempts :)

They look so delicious, golden and puffy! Do like the idea of mascarpone instead of the ricotta, prefer the naughty creaminess!
They look so yummy! And I love how you were able to catch some TV and spruce yourself up all while making these! Talk about multi-tasking! :)
Mascarpone would be an excellent addition to these - what a fabulous idea!
I never would have picked these either, so it's a good thing someone else did!
Yours look very very nice! I agree - this is not a recipe I would have chosen on my own - But I am glad someone chose it, it was very fun and the result was tasty!!
I love the idea of using mascarpone in place of the ricotta -- I bet that would be so delicious. I want to make these again with peaches this summer. Peaches & mascarpone? I think that would be such a great combo! Your turnovers look delightful!
They look great! I loved these too, although mine got pretty dark after 35 minutes.
Look how pretty your turnovers look! And I'm glad you found them easy and delicious. I thought they were a but fussy, but my people liked them, so it was worthwhile. Pretty pictures!

Great looking turnovers. Im so glad you liked them . I thought they were very good too!
Nice looking turnovers!!! Yes, these were so good, will make again.
So far, I haven't heard of anyone actually getting any liquid out of their ricotta! How funny. I too have been thinking that maybe mascarpone would be tasty!
Your turnovers look fantastic. I like the idea of mascarpone in them, which I will keep in mind 'cos I definitely want to make these again.
Ooo, a marscarpone filling sounds totally divine. What a great idea! I would never have picked these either, but I was so glad Tracey did. I thought they were delicious. Yours look totally awesome!
Mascarpone sounds like it would be wonderful.
Your turnovers look great. I'm glad they were a hit.
Yum, I've really enjoyed everyone's photos of these turn overs and I'm not usually one to eat cooked apples.

Katie-
I'm so happy that you enjoyed these; they look gorgeous!
Before using this recipe as an excuse to make homemade ricotta, I was actually thinking of "cheating" and using cream cheese instead. Not sure if that would have made it creamy. These turnovers were definitely fun to make. I like how yours turned out so puffy.
Wow! These look like something Nigella Lawson would make. Yum
Hello. I have an award for you over at my site.
hi there! i found your blog through another's and wanted to say hello after seeing the comments - i've never made apple turnovers or any turnovers for that matter, but the addition of sweet ricotta sounds like a great idea!
Mmm the turnovers look yummy!
Don't you know baking and bathing don't mix?! I have to tell myself that every day.
Those do look good! And such a gorgeous filling too.
Last time I made caramel, I burnt my tongue *sigh*
These look great. Sorry it has taken me so long to comment. Mine was a little browned too, seemed to have happened quicker than I would have liked. Mascarpone, that's a great idea.
great job, they look fabulous!
I adore turnovers and these sound and look heavenly!
