Apple-Cinnamon Wontons

Submitted by Vseward Chef-V

"Here's a great autumn dessert that's waist friendly. Apples, cinnamon, brown sugar and a nice crunch. Great alternative when craving apple pie."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 6

ingredients

• 2 medium apples, McIntosh, peeled, cored and minced
• 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 24 wonton wrappers
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons powdered sugar

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with butter flavored cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon; toss to coat apples.
3. Place wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Drop apple mixture by teaspoonfuls onto center of each wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with wet fingers, fold over one corner to make a triangle and press sides together to seal. Transfer filled wrappers to prepared baking sheet and coat surface with cooking spray.
4. Bake until wontons are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Place wontons on individual plates and sift with powdered sugar. Serve with ice cream on the side.

I thought these were ok.. good but not great. I think it would be better to saute the apples and sugar before filling the wontons to create a nice saucy filling. The edges of the wontons are crunchy, but I didn't really enjoy that. It was crunchy the way uncooked pasta is crunchy, you know? I'm not sure I'll make these again without a few adjustments.

Made these for Chinese New Year's. I must have small wontons because I halved the recipe and had at least 24. We were stuffed! My apple was very large though. And I only cooked mine for 10-11 minutes because my first batch were very crispy.

These are delicious and not hard to make, I only got 18 wontons with that amount of filling amount nothing near 24 although I think I used more than a teaspoon of filling for each, thanks for sharing V!...Kitten :)

The inside was tastey but I dont feel wontons were meant for pastry treats. They get tough & too crusty from baking. I baked them a little less because I thought the edges were overdone. Note two photos taken on stripe plate. They are better as crackers.

Very good and very easy too. Made these for DH for Valentines day and he really enjoyed them. They are a great low-fat alternative to apple pie. I sprayed them with cooking spray and sprinkled some sugar on top before baking. Really very good!
