These fun wontons are an unusual way to highlight fresh picked apples. Head to the orchard and get ready for a great fall dessert. The apples are flavored with brown sugar, fresh lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Simply fold up the apple filling in store-bought wonton wrappers, then let them bake away in the oven until they're a beautiful golden brown, which should only take about 15 minutes (no frying required!). Sift powdered sugar on top and serve with vanilla ice cream on the side as the best finishing touches ever. This is the sweet, creative type of dessert that we can definitely get behind.

Ingredients

Butter-flavor cooking spray

2 spray(s), divided

Apple

2 medium, McIntosh, peeled, cored and minced

Packed light brown sugar

1 Tbsp

Fresh lemon juice

1 tsp

Ground cinnamon

½ tsp

Wonton wrapper

24 item(s), half of a 12 oz package

Powdered sugar (confectioner's)

1½ Tbsp

Light vanilla ice cream

3 cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon; toss to coat apples.
  3. Place wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Drop apple mixture by teaspoonfuls onto center of each wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with wet fingers, fold over one corner to make a triangle and press sides together to seal. Transfer filled wrappers to prepared baking sheet and coat surfaces with cooking spray.
  4. Bake until wontons are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Place wontons on individual plates and sift powdered sugar on top. Serve with ice cream on the side. Yields 4 wontons, 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar and 1/2 cup of ice cream per serving.
