Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss diced apple with 0.25 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp sugar until coated.

  2. Step 2

    Place 1 tbsp apple mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet edges with water, fold into a triangle, then bring corners together. Press to seal.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a medium skillet to 350°F (or until a wooden spoon handle sizzles immediately when dipped).

  4. Step 4

    Fry pies in batches, 90 seconds per side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to paper towels.

  5. Step 5

    Mix remaining 2 tbsp sugar with 0.25 tsp cinnamon. Toss warm pies to coat while still hot.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while the filling is still warm and the wrapper is crispy.

Tools you’ll need

  • medium skillet or heavy-bottomed pot
  • cooking thermometer (optional but recommended)
  • paper towels
  • slotted spoon or spider strainer
