Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 2 apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), finely diced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Apple Filling:
In a bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the juices to release and thicken. -
Assemble the Bites:
Place 1 teaspoon of the apple mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper diagonally into a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal. Use a dab of water on the edges to help them stick together. -
Fry the Wonton Bites:
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wonton bites in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. -
Coat with Cinnamon-Sugar:
Remove the bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Brush the warm wonton bites with melted butter and toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly. -
Serve:
Serve warm with a side of caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream for dipping, if desired.
