Makes 6 Serving

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon; toss to coat apples.
3. Place wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Drop apple mixture by teaspoonfuls onto center of each wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with wet fingers, fold over one corner to make a triangle and press sides together to seal. Transfer filled wrappers to prepared baking sheet and coat surfaces with cooking spray.
4. Bake until wontons are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Place wontons on individual plates and sift powdered sugar on top. Serve with ice cream on the side.

Note: This recipe appears on www.weightwatchers.com. Fall is here, apples are in season and it's time to turn on your oven and make your kitchen and house smell heavenly delicious. Wontons are usually thought of in Asian cuisine and the apple filling is like an Apple pie filling so this is an East-meets-West dish. Basically, this dessert puts a new twist on the traditional apple pie dessert. If you don't have ice cream, you can use plain yogurt or sour cream but it may affect the point value. These wontons can even be enjoyed without the ice cream as well. I also highly recommend adding nutmeg and cloves along with the cinnamon to add more flavors to the wontons.
