Apricot "wontons"



I chose this picture because I really think the rectangular "wontons" worked better than the triangles. This was a super simple recipe that could be adapted to any fruit in any season and probably could be done with several different types of pastry/crust/dough.

Ingredients:

eggroll wrappers (or wonton wrappers, or probably thinly rolled raw flour tortillas...)
about 1 cup of chopped fruit (peaches, apricots, cherries, apples, etc)
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp brown sugar
Powdered Sugar
Oil

Put the tbsp sugar in a small mixing bowl.

Heat a pan over medium high heat with the butter. When the butter starts to melt, add the fruit and cook just until the fruit starts to soften a little. Once this happens, pour the fruit and butter into the mixing bowl with the sugar. This might be a little soupy, but that's fine.

Rinse out your skillet, then heat oil in the skillet--maybe 1 1/2 inches deep? Not a full deep-fry, but not a pan fry...somewhere in between.

Lay an eggroll wrapper on a cutting board or hard surface. Place 1 1/2 tbsp of filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold one side just over the filling, then fold in the ends and fold up the last side. Place the wontons in the pan, folded side down and cook for about 5 minutes or until brown on the bottom. Carefully flip over and cook a few more minutes until the other side browns.

Take out and drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream if you like.

I didn't measure and didn't write anything down, but I think this one will be easy to follow/figure out/re-invent!
