    Stir into the boiling liquid and let it simmer for about 1 minute. Pour into a bowl and let it cool down. Melt butter in a pot. Separate the egg. Mix ricotta, crème fraîche, egg yolk and 5 g starch. Peel, quarter and core 1 apple. Grate the apple finely, put it on a fine kitchen towel and press out the juice. Stir the apple into the ricotta mixture. Beat the egg white until stiff, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and fold into the mixture. Grease 4 hollows of a muffin tin and sprinkle with sugar. Cut the yufka dough leaves in half lengthwise. Place one half in each trough and brush with butter. Place another half pastry sheet on top of each, offset so that the hollows are lined but the ends hang over.
