Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup apple pie filling, chopped
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wontons
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- Cooking spray, for air frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped apple pie filling, caramel sauce, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Fill wonton wrappers: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place a small spoonful of the apple filling mixture in the center of each wrapper.
- Seal the wontons: Brush the edges of each wonton wrapper with the beaten egg. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal, making sure there are no air pockets.
- Preheat air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare for cooking: Lightly spray both sides of the sealed wontons with cooking spray to help them crisp up nicely during air frying.
- Air fry wontons: Place the wontons in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook them in batches. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and serve: Remove the wontons from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- Ensure the wontons are sealed tightly to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even crisping.
- Use a light cooking spray to achieve a crispy texture without excessive oil.
- Serve the wontons warm for the best flavor and texture.
- Powdered sugar is optional but adds a nice finishing touch.
