Cherry-Ricotta Blintzes

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

Combine cherries, water, granulated sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine ricotta, vanilla and lemon zest in a small bowl.

Transfer a crepe to a work surface, keeping it on its piece of plastic from the package. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture into a 3-inch-long strip on the lower third of the crepe. Top with a generous 1 tablespoon of the cherry mixture. Fold both sides of the crepe over the filling and roll closed. Repeat with the remaining crepes and fillings (saving enough cherry mixture for topping). Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter.

Bake the blintzes until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. To serve, top each with about 2 tablespoons of the remaining cherry filling. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
