When you make things in the won ton wrapper how do you cook it? For instance I have some apples that I need to use up so I thought about dicing then up amd putting in the wrappers with cinnamon and sugar but do I bake it? drop it in water?

Same question with filling then with some ricotta, spinach, tomato.

Can someone please tell me? Thanks!

    I would bake them. they will be better baked. I guess you could boil them but it would be more like a ravioli.

    I made Crab Rangoons and used cooking spray to spray them on both sides and then baked (on parchment paper). I wasn't real happy witht the way they turned out, though. Where the won ton was wrapped around the cra/cheese filling it was fine but where it was just the wrapper it was kind of tough and chewy, not crispy. Next time I'm going to try steaming them, like a dim sum dumpling.

    We have a dumpling steamer that we use for that purpose exactly. Before we got that we'd use the regular steamer basket in a pot. Spray the basket first with non-stick spray to avoid sticking.

    I just went to a America-Thai wedding reception and the bride made Thai fried bananas... They were bananas wrapped in won ton wrappers and lightly fried and then drizzled with honey.... YUM... I thought about making some and baking them or just frying them in the pan with cooking spray...

    I put them in muffin tins and bake them for about 8 minutes at 350. Then take them out, stuff them, and bake some more depending on what I'm making. Using the muffin tins make them in to little cups.

    Doesn't it depend on whether or not you got the ones for frying or the ones for steaming? I'm pretty sure they're a little different. If it is the type for fried wontons, I'd bake it. If it is the type for steaming, I'd try steaming/boiling them.

    People use them to make homemade ravioli quite a big. In that instance, you boil them like you would pasta.

    you dont have to cook the wrappers first... put the apple mixture inside the wrappers and shape how you line..i make little triangles or use two and make it look like a ravioli...then i bake for 15 minutes....soooooo good !
