Ingredients
Apple Wontons
- 3 Apples
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
- Wonton wrappers
- Oil for frying
- Powdered Sugar
Spiced Ice Cream
- 24 ounces Vanilla Ice Cream, divided
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee, divided
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
Instructions
- There is no need to peel the apples unless you really want to. Core them and chop them into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Heat a skillet and put the butter in. Don't let the butter burn.
- Add the apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir so the apples get completely covered.
- Cover and simmer on low heat until the apples are very soft, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. You don't want to burn yourself making the wontons.
- Have ready a small bowl filled with water and a sheet pan.
- Have a wonton ready, and dip your finger in the water, and run your wet finger along the edges of the wonton wrapper.
- Put a scant teaspoon of the apple mixture in the center of the wonton skin, fold the skin over so you have a triangle, then seal the edges with your finger.
- Continue doing this with the other wontons until you have enough, or have run out of apple stuffing.
Deep Frying Method
- Fill a large saucepan with oil about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350 °F (177 °C).
- When the oil has reached the proper temperature, start adding the wontons, two at a time.
- You will find when frying them that they do not like to be turned, and keep righting themselves. You will have to use a pair of tongs to flip them.
- When they are pale tan in color, remove them from the oil and set them on a rack lined with paper to drain.
- Continue with the remaining wontons.
For the Air Fryer
- Put the stuffed wontons on the air fryer tray.
- Optionally spray the wontons with oil.
- Cook them at 400 °F (204 °C) for about 5 minutes or until they have crisped up and browned.
Serving with Ice Cream
- Let the wontons cool slightly, then dust them with powdered sugar.
- Portion the ice cream out into 6 bowls or ice cream glasses.
- Sprinkle a little of the spices equally on each portion.
- Top with wontons and serve immediately.
Notes
Please don’t skip the cayenne. The dairy and sugar in the ice cream kill most of the heat, and all that remains is a pleasant warmth that really brings out the taste of the vanilla. You could add more coffee, or add cocoa powder for an Aztec version.
Variations
You could use just about any fruit you want. Just be sure to seal the wonton skins very well to prevent leakage.
