Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup apple pie filling, chopped
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wontons
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- Cooking spray
Topping
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- 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.
- Fill the wontons: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Spoon a small amount of the apple mixture into the center of each wrapper, ensuring not to overfill.
- 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.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and preheat for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare for air frying: Lightly spray the wontons with cooking spray to promote browning and crispiness. Place them in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry the wontons: Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping the wontons halfway through the cooking time, until they become golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Cool and serve: Remove the wontons from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly to avoid burning. Optionally dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra sweet touch.
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.
