How to make Caramel Apple Dumplings:

• Prepare the apples: Peel and chop the apples into little pieces. In a large saucepan add butter and melt over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir to combine. Add apples, and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain apples and set apples aside in a bowl.
• Arrange a workstation with a small bowl of water, wonton wrappers, caramel sauce, and bowl of apples. Working one at a time, add about 1 TBS of apples to the center of your wonton, add a drizzle of caramel (about ¼ tsp) then using your finger, wipe water across all sides of the wonton. Bring one corner up to the other in the center, and press together to seal (see video below for more details on this). Then bring up the other 2 corners, and run your finger along to seal all edges. Set aside and repeat for all wontons/apple mixture.
• To cook: In a large stockpot, add about 1 inch of oil. Heat over medium high heat, and when you see ripples the oil is ready. Carefully drop the wontons bottom side down into the oil and cook for about 1-2 minutes on the first side. When they start browning, use a spatula and flip over. Cook another 1-2 minutes or until crispy. Remove from oil and set on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat until all wontons are fried.
• Arrange Caramel Apple Dumplings on a serving dish, drizzle with caramel sauce, then sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for this recipe:

• For the wonton wrappers: Check in the produce area by the tofu or organic yogurt. If you can’t find them, ask! You could also ask for egg roll wrappers, they are usually right next to each other. The wonton wrappers are little squares, perfect for wrapping these little guys up!
• Use this homemade caramel sauce recipe for these - so good and easy!
• Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
• Need to re-heat? Pop them in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to crisp them up!
