Apple Pie Wontons

Apple Pie Wontons

I was planning an Asian inspired dinner for a friend. Since I was using won ton wrappers to make appetizers I decided to use some of them for dessert, too. I wrapped a small amount of apple pie filling in each wrapper, sealed them up and pan fried in a little oil. Before serving dusted themĀ  with powdered sugar. They taste like little crispy apple pies. This is also a great way to use up pie filling if you have some leftover from another dessert. Not a traditional Chinese dessert but a nice finish for dinner. These are tiny bites, allow 3-4 per person.

Place wonton wrapper on a work surface with point facing toward you. Place a rounded teaspoon of the pie filling in the middle and fold the sides in to meet in the middle. Use a little water to moisten the top point of the wrapper and roll it up. Repeat with remaining wrappers. Heat 1/2 inch of oil in skillety to 375 degrees and fry the wontons, a few at a time, until golden brown.Turn as they fry to brown evenly. Drain on paper towels or cooling rack. When all the wontons have been fried and cooled down a bit, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Makes 24, serving 6.

With a Chinese New Year dinner tonight with friends I wanted to bring something for dessert. Since I haven’t been going to the grocery store I had to work with what I have already. I am using won ton wrappers to make appetizers and decided to use some of them for dessert, too. I wrapped a small amount of apple pie filling in each wrapper, sealed them up and pan fried in a little oil. Before serving dust with powdered sugar. They taste like little crispy apple pies. Not a traditional Chinese dessert but a nice finish for dinner. These are tiny bites, allow 4-5 per person.
