Step 1
Peel and dice the apple into 1/4-inch chunks. Toss with cinnamon and 1 tbsp sugar.
Step 2
Spoon 1 tsp apple mixture onto center of each wonton wrapper. Wet edges with water.
Step 3
Fold wrapper into a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Then fold corners together to form a purse.
Step 4
Heat oil to 350°F in a heavy skillet. Test with a small piece of wrapper—it should sizzle immediately.
Step 5
Fry pies 90 seconds per side until deep golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel.
Step 6
Toss warm pies in remaining 1 tbsp cinnamon-sugar. Serve with caramel sauce for dipping.
