Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 cup Cherry pie filling
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Add a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to create an egg wash.
Lightly brush the edges of a wonton wrapper with the egg wash. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, sealing the edges by pressing them firmly. Repeat with the remaining wontons.
In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the wontons in small batches for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Once the wontons have cooled slightly, dust them with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the crispy, creamy cherry-filled goodness!
