Calories: 154kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peel, core and chop into small chunks (about 4 cups)
- 1½ cups water
- ¾ cups sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 16-20 wonton wrappers, might use more
- 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- ¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, over low heat, bring water, cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Continue stirring for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens up.
- Once the sauce has thickened, add chopped apples, stir and let simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add sugar, vanilla and lemon juice. Beat for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add 1 teaspoon of cream cheese filling in the center of the wonton wrapper followed by a teaspoon of apple cinnamon mixture.
- Using your fingers, dip into water and rub water along the edges of the wrapper. This will help seal the wontons.
- Fold up the edges of the wrapper, pinching them together, making sure to remove as much air as possible.
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet or frying pan to 375°.
- Place a few wontons at a time in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy.
