Dessert Wontons

Fall holidays seem to be overloaded with heavy and calorie-laden desserts. Enter the Dessert Wonton. The filling is much like a trail mix and they have been baked rather than fried. They come out of the oven every bit as crispy as their fried counterparts and the warm apricot preserves are the perfect dipping sauce.
