Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- 24 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil
Filling Ingredients:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish Ingredients:
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- Caramel sauce
Instructions
- Mash 2 peeled and cored Granny Smith apples with ½ cup sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp vanilla. Let the mixture rest for 3-4 minutes to blend flavors.
- Spread wonton wrappers on your clean countertop. Scoop 1 tablespoon of apple filling directly into the center of each wrapper.
- Dab water around the wrapper edges. Fold diagonally to create a triangle shape. Press edges firmly to ensure a tight seal.
- Pour 1 inch of vegetable oil into a large frying pan. Heat to exactly 350°F over medium heat, monitoring temperature with a kitchen thermometer.
- Gently slide 3-4 wontons into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until they transform into a deep golden brown color.
- Extract wontons with a slotted spoon. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup powdered sugar evenly across the crispy wontons. Drizzle warm caramel sauce over the top for extra decadence.
- Serve these crispy treats immediately while they remain warm and crunchy.
Notes
- Choose firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best filling texture and flavor balance.
- Work quickly when assembling wontons to prevent wrappers from drying out and cracking.
- Test oil temperature with a small piece of wonton wrapper to ensure perfect crispiness without burning.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional wonton wrappers with rice paper or gluten-free wrappers, which will give a slightly different but still delicious result.
