Asian Dinner Dessert: Pumpkin Wontons


Adapted from Healthy Eats Blog

Yields 20 wontons

1 cup canned pumpkin
2 Tbsp maple syrup
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
20 refrigerated wonton wrappers
Granulated sugar for dusting
Ground cinnamon for dusting
Nonstick cooking spray
Vanilla ice cream

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix pumpkin, maple syrup, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Place a wonton wrapper flat on work surface. Keep the rest of the wontons covered in a moistened towel while you work. Spoon one tablespoon of filling into the center of wonton. Moisten edges of the wonton with water and fold in half to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wontons.

Lightly coat both sides of the wontons with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange filled wontons on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each with cinnamon and sugar. Bake until golden, about 16 minutes. Flip each wonton and bake 2 more minutes. Serve wontons warm with vanilla ice cream.

  1. Isn't the greatest thing about wonton wrappers that you can put just about anything inside them and they will be delicious?

  3. I know pumpkin was a huge ingredient in a lot of recipes before and around Halloween. I never thought to use it in wontons as a dessert. Great idea. Thanks.
