A co-worker brought these to a luncheon one day, several years ago, and they were a big hit. She shared her recipe with me and I have been making them since. They are handy because some people don't want a big slice of cake or pie but enjoy just a bite or two of something sweet. When I make large batches, I will make a batch of 2 or 3 different flavors of pie filling. I will use a different garnish on each flavor or fold them into different shapes to identify . These photos are from the internet.

    your favorite pie filling or make your own recipe
  • 1 pkg
    wonton wrappers

How To Make wonton pie bites

  • 1
    In a shallow dish, mix sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • 2
    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the water for the egg wash.
  • 3
    Place one wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. With a small pastry brush or a spoon, paint the edges of the wonton wrapper with the egg wash. Then spoon 1 teaspoon of the pie filling in the middle. Fold over to form a triangle and seal very well. Repeat for remaining. Make sure you have a good, tight seal, otherwise the filling will leak out and cause oil splatters.
  • 4
    Heat oil to 375 degrees.
  • 5
    Carefully slide in a few wontons into the oil with a long-handled spoon. (Use a screen to protect you from the oil.)
  • 6
    Fry for 1 minute on each side, until golden brown. Drain on rack.
  • 7
    While still warm, sprinkle won ton on both sides with sugar/cinnamon mixture or powdered sugar and place back on rack to cool. (It’s fun to have some of each for variety.)

    These are great served warm but are also very good at room temperature.
