Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Deep Skillet
  • Slotted Spoon
  • Paper Towels

Ingredients

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Wonton Wrappers

  • 24 pieces wonton wrappers

Frying Ingredients

  • as needed cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • as needed caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the apple filling. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped Granny Smith apples, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well so every apple piece gets coated.
  • Lay out your wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Keep a small bowl of water nearby.
  • Place about 1 teaspoon of the apple mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  • Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Gently fold the wrapper over the filling into a triangle (or a rectangle, if you prefer a mini-pastry look), and press the edges to seal well. Make sure there are no gaps, so the filling won’t leak during frying.
  • In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat (about 350°F, or when a small piece of wrapper sizzles and floats up immediately).
  • Fry wontons, a few at a time, until golden brown—about 1-2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • While still warm, dust the apple pie bites generously with powdered sugar.
  • Serve with a side of caramel sauce—drizzle or dip, it’s your call!

Notes

For extra crunch, sprinkle the fried bites with cinnamon sugar before serving. You can also prepare the filling 1-2 days ahead and refrigerate.
