My favorite desserts are the kind you can hold in your hand, eat in 1 – 2 bites, look super fancy (but are actually super simple), and taste delicious. These little baked apple dumplings check off all of those requirements and can be put together relatively quickly and will have your friends and family thinking that you’re a baking genius.
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced apples, the tarter the better
- 1/2 cup water
- 2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 4 oz cream cheese
- Twin Dragon Wonton Wrappers
- Powdered sugar
- Pam or any kind of oil spray
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
2. Make the Filling: combine apples and water in small saucepan. Cook and stir on high heat until mixture comes to a boil and reduce to low heat.
3. Stir in brown sugar and spices. Let simmer for 3 minutes and then stir in the butter and lemon zest. Bring to a boil and then turn down the heat and let simmer for 5 minutes or until the liquid has boiled off and thickened up nicely. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
4. Lay your wonton sheets out flat. Into each wonton sheet, place 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of cream cheese into the middle of the sheet. You can leave them round to be like a cream cheese bomb in the middle, or spread it out for more evenly distributed flavor.
I personally prefer a good flavor bomb.
5. On top of that, place 1 teaspoon of filling and then slightly wet each of the edges of the sheet and bring together each of the edges to form a shape similar to a plus sign.
4. Place onto a greased baking tray and spray the tops of the dumplings. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Once cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve!
