Step 1
Toss diced apple with 0.25 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp sugar until coated.
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.
Step 3
Heat oil in a medium skillet to 350°F (or until a wooden spoon handle sizzles immediately when dipped).
Step 4
Fry pies in batches, 90 seconds per side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to paper towels.
Step 5
Mix remaining 2 tbsp sugar with 0.25 tsp cinnamon. Toss warm pies to coat while still hot.
Step 6
Serve immediately while the filling is still warm and the wrapper is crispy.
