Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1 medium, diced Apple
- 0.333 cup Dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 large, beaten Egg
- 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 0.333 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, diced apple, dried cranberries, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until evenly combined to make the filling.
Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger into the beaten egg and lightly brush it around the edges of the wonton wrapper.
Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal the filling inside. Make sure there are no air pockets.
Optionally, bring the two opposing corners of the triangle together and pinch to create a traditional wonton shape.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat.
Carefully fry the wontons in batches for 2-3 minutes each, turning once, until they are golden brown and crisp. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
To make the honey orange sauce, combine honey, orange juice, and orange zest in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Serve the warm wontons with the honey orange sauce on the side for dipping or drizzled over the top.
