Oh my, I have to try this! I was going to make it for Thanksgiving, but I don't think I can wait. Instead of the calories of a traditional pie crust, the baked cinnamon and sugar wontons are the perfect replacement. They look pretty, they are flakey and delicious, and are only 20 calories each! Add a little whip cream (low calorie, fat free or regular) and cinnamon, and you have all the taste of a classic apple pie without the calories!
Ingredients For Pastry Layers:
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sweetener of choice
Ingredients For Apple Pie Filling:
- 2 large granny smith apples (or other baking apple of choice), peeled, and diced into small chunks
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- 2 tbs honey
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp apple pie or pumpkin pie spice
- pinch of salt
- 2-3 packets of favorite sweetener, (or to taste)
- Optional: 1(8 oz) Container Fat Free or Light Cool Whip
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper, or foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
- Lay wonton wrappers out individually on baking sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sweetener.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until wontons have crisped, and become lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven, let cool completely on baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, to make the apple pie filling, Place all of the ingredients in a small sauce pan, and cook over medium heat, until apples are soft and resemble the appearance of apple pie filling, stirring constantly, (about 2-5 minutes). Remove from heat.
- To build the layered apple pie, start by placing one baked wonton on a plate, and layer with about 2 tbs apple pie filling in between each layer, (alternating with cool whip if desired). Repeat layers 2 more times, (baked wonton will be the top layer, and three wontons will be used for each tower).
- Top with Cool Whip and cinnamon if desired~ Served best warm!
Enjoy!
