FILLING:
- 3 medium apples I used Honeycrisp, but any apple works
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
WONTONS:
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 24-30 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil suitable for frying
- 1 egg
To make apple filling:
Peel and core apples, dice and toss with lemon juice.
You’ll want to dice these pretty small, so they fit easily in the wonton wrappers.
Place apples in a saucepan. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and stir to combine.
Add butter, and heat the mixture on LOW, stirring frequently for about 15 minutes, or until the apples are softened.
Let this cool.
To fill the wontons:
Mix the sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon, set aside.
In a small bowl, make an egg wash by mixing an egg with a tablespoon of water.
Dip your fingertips in the egg wash and lightly moisten the edges and corners of your wonton wrapper.
Place a heaping teaspoon of the apple filling in the center of the wonton and bring the four corners of the wonton together.
Press as much air out as possible and pinch the edges firmly together to seal.
Repeat with remaining wontons. Keep filled pies covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
To fry the wontons:
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, heat 2-inches of oil to 350°Fdegrees.
Working in small batches, using a slotted spoon or tongs, place wontons seamed side up in the oil, turning once as the first side cooks, and fry until golden brown, approximately one minute.
Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture while hot. Repeat with remaining wontons.
