Baby Apple Pies & I Don’t Believe in Myself

Hi all and welcome to the latest episode of Nikoli's Kitchen! In this week's positivity segment, I'm actually kind of angry with myself for not believing in me- so I make an accountability pledge to you here and now that I will. In the back half of the show, I whipped up some baby apple pies! Thank you so much for listening, and above all, THANK YOU for believing in me!

 

Featured Recipe for this Episode

8 c green apple, finely chopped
1/2 c dark brown sugar
1/2 c water
1/4 c cornstarch
1 T cinnamon
1/4 t allspice
1/2 t nutmeg
1/4 t salt
50 wonton wrappers
Oil for deep frying

1/2 c white sugar
1 T cinnamon

Combine the apples, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt into a large saucepan and stir together until well-combined.
Cook over mid heat until your apples are softened, 7-10 minutes.
Remove and allow to cool. 
Place 1 T of filling in the center of your wonton wrapper. 
Use your finger or a brush and wet the edges and fold in half, being sure to press the wrapper closed. A tight seal is very important here!
Combine your white sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
Heat your oil to 350°.
Deep fry until well-browned, 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to overcrowd your oil.
Remove from oil and place in the cinnamon sugar and toss to coat.

Yield: 50 apple cinnamon wontons.
Calories/Serving: 52 calories per wonton before frying (this includes the after coating). Likely 75-85 after.
