Can I use fresh apples instead of apple pie filling?

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped apple pie filling, caramel sauce, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and caramel throughout the apples.

3. Seal the wontons: Brush the edges of each wonton wrapper with the beaten egg to help them stick. Fold the wrappers in half diagonally to create triangles, pressing the edges firmly to seal and remove any air pockets to prevent leaking.
4. Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and preheat for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Notes

• Do not overfill wontons to avoid leaks during cooking.
• Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model; monitor closely to prevent burning.
• Use a brush or your finger to apply the beaten egg for a secure seal.
• Powdered sugar is optional but adds a nice finishing touch and extra sweetness.
• For a dairy-free version, use a vegan caramel sauce and egg substitute for sealing, such as aquafaba or plant-based milk with cornstarch.
