vegetable oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter
6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. lemon zest
10 wonton wrappers
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
Melt butter in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sauté apples and next 3 ingredients, stirring occasionally, until softened. Transfer to a bowl and chill well. Place about 1/4 cup of apple mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with water and bring corners to the top, forming a point, and press firmly. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Heat oil in an electric deep fryer to 375°F. Add dumplings to fry basket 2 at a time. Lower into hot oil and fry until golden. Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot sprinkled with confectioner's sugar.
