Ingredients
- 1.5kg (3lb) Cortland or Lobo apples (apples that remain firm when cooked)
- 250g (½ lb) cream cheese
- 500ml (2 cups) pumpkin purée
- 165g (¾ cup) packed brown sugar
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) flour
- 10 ml (2 tsp) pumpkin spice
- 2.5 ml (½ tsp) salt
- 1 package Wong Wing wonton wrappers (454g)
Preparation
Grande friture
1
Wash and peel the apples, then cut them into slices about 5 mm (¼") thick.
2
In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the apples.
3
Soften the apples for about 15 minutes. When the apples begin to brown, add the water, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
4
Continue cooking for 5 minutes to make caramel.
5
Pour the mixture into a bowl and add the flour to make the batter less runny.
6
Let cool in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
7
On a clean work surface, place a piece of dumpling dough and add a spoonful of cooled apple filling. Moisten three sides of the dough and fold it over to form a firm rectangle, pressing firmly to seal the dough. Repeat with all the dough pieces.
8
During preparation, be sure to cover the dough with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
9
Using a fork or skewer, make a small hole in each patty so that moisture can escape during cooking.
10
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 180°C (350°F).
11
Dip the spring rolls in the oil bath for 4 minutes.
12
Remove from the fryer and place in a bowl lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
13
Allow to cool before serving.
Air Fryer
1

Note

Note: You can roll the pastries in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon while they are still warm to coat them before serving.
