How to Make Air Fryer Caramel Apple Wontons

1. Cook the apple filling

In a small pan, melt the butter and add the diced apples. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 5–6 minutes until the apples soften.

Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir it into the apples to thicken the mixture. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Prepare the wonton wrappers

Lay out several wrappers at a time. Place a small spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each wrapper. Add a pea-sized piece of caramel (or a tiny drizzle of caramel sauce).

3. Seal the wontons

Brush the edges with a little water. Bring all four corners together (or fold into triangles) and pinch gently to seal. Make sure no filling leaks out.

4. Air fry to perfection

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly spray the wontons with oil and brush the tops with egg wash for a deep golden finish.

Air fry for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway if needed, until crisp and beautifully browned.

5. Serve warm

Enjoy immediately for the gooey caramel effect. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with extra caramel for a finishing touch.

Tips for the Best Caramel Apple Wontons

• Don’t overfill — a little goes a long way and prevents leaks.

• Keep wrappers covered — they dry out quickly, so cover them with a damp towel.

• Use firm apples — Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji hold their texture.

• Serve warm — the caramel is softest and most delicious right out of the air fryer.
