Apple-filled Wonton Cups

Apple-filled Wonton Cups are a good way to start the fall and back-to-school season. We had an abundance of apples from our apple-picking weekend so it gave me lots of ideas for different desserts, snacks and main dishes. This snack is convenient and quick to make as soon as the kids walk in the door after school. Simply bake the wonton skins into cups and fill with apple slices or any fruit preferred. Drizzle the whipped cream and have an instant snack or dessert. My recipe first published on the Quirk Books Community Blog. Serves 4 to 6.

Ingredients

  • 20 to 24 pieces wonton skins square
  • 2 large pieces peeled, cut in 1/4-inch sized cubes apples
  • 1/8 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 4 Tablespoon water
  • 1 Tablespoon butter or margarine
  • a few tablespoons for topping dulce de leche (bottled)
  • for topping whipped cream
  • for serving vanilla-flavored ice cream

Instructions

  • To make the wonton cups: preheat the oven at 375 F degrees. Grease and spray mini muffin pans, each measuring about 2-inces in diameter (must not be wider than this). Be sure wonton skins are thawed and can be separated individually. Place each wonton skin into the muffin pan. With your finger, gently push the center lower to form a cup. The wonton sides will shape into fluted pleats (like a flower petal). Bake at 375 F for 10 – 11 minutes or till crisp and slightly brown. When done, remove from oven and cool individual wonton cups on baking rack to stay crisp while you prepare the filling.
  • · To prepare the apple filling: in a small saucepan place the cubed apples, brown sugar, cinnamon powder, lemon juice, water and butter. Over medium high heat, bring to a quick boil and then lower heat to medium. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes till apples are softer but not mushy.
  • · To assemble the dessert: arrange the baked wonton cups on a dessert platter. Fill each cup with a tablespoon of the apple filling. Drizzle a few drops of caramel or dulce de leche on each apple-filled wonton. Top with a dollop of whipped cream just before serving. Serve with ice cream or enjoy as a snack or dessert by itself.
