  • Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy pot over medium heat until the temperature reaches 360–375°F on a thermometer.
  • Working in batches, carefully add the wonton wrapper pieces to the hot oil. Fry for about 15 to 30 seconds, stirring gently, until they puff and become light golden. Using a spider strainer or slotted spoon, remove the chips and drain on a paper-lined tray.

Notes

  1. Keep the oil between 360°F and 375°F for crisp chips that are light, not greasy.
  2. Fry in small batches so the wonton triangles have space to puff properly.
  3. Toss the chips in cinnamon sugar while still warm so it sticks evenly.
  4. Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji so they hold their shape while cooking.
  5. Cook the apples just until tender. They should be soft and saucy but not falling apart.
  6. Assemble right before serving so the chips stay crisp under the warm apples.
  7. For a lighter option, bake the wonton triangles at 375°F for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and crisp.
