Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup apple pie filling (chopped)
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) caramel sauce
Spices:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Binding and Preparation Ingredients:
- 1 egg (beaten)
- Cooking spray
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Create a delectable filling by merging chopped apple pie filling with rich caramel sauce, then enhance with warm ground cinnamon and nutmeg, stirring until ingredients harmonize perfectly.
- Arrange wonton wrappers on a clean workspace, positioning a precise dollop of apple mixture exactly in each wrapper’s center.
- Apply beaten egg along wrapper edges using a delicate brush, then fold diagonally into triangular shapes, pressing edges firmly to create hermetic seals without trapped air pockets.
- Activate air fryer and calibrate temperature to 350°F, allowing 3 minutes for thorough preheating.
- Delicately mist prepared wontons with cooking spray, carefully positioning them in a single, uncrowded layer within the air fryer basket, ensuring adequate spacing for optimal crispiness.
- Cook wontons for 6-8 minutes, rotating midway through cooking process to guarantee uniform golden-brown exterior and perfect crunch.
- Extract wontons from air fryer, permitting brief cooling period, then optionally dust with powdered sugar for elegant presentation and additional sweetness before serving immediately.
Notes
- Choose crisp, firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a balanced sweet-tart filling that maintains texture during cooking.
- Seal wontons completely to prevent filling leakage, using egg wash as a strong adhesive for the wrapper edges.
- Avoid overfilling wontons to ensure even cooking and prevent potential bursting during air frying.
- Experiment with alternative spices like cardamom or ginger for a unique flavor twist on the classic cinnamon-nutmeg combination.
