Baked Ontario Apple Frittata Cups

Ingredients

Cups:
1 tbsp butter (to grease muffin pan)
24 small Wonton wrappers*
Filling:
4 eggs
pinch of salt
1 medium Ontario apple**, cored and diced
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup whole grain granola (blend of whole grain oats & wheat flakes)
1/4 cup walnut pieces (substitution – slivered almonds)
1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease muffin pan with butter. Insert 2 wonton wrappers into each muffin cup, overlapping them to form a small “flower” shaped cup. Bake for only 3 to 4 minutes or until edges are lightly golden, remove from oven and cool in the pan.
In a small bowl, beat eggs and add pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, mix diced apple and cinnamon. Begin assembly of cups by adding 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the apple mixture to each wonton cup. Follow with 2 tsp (10 mL) of the beaten egg, ensuring it does not flow over the sides of the wonton cups. Top each cup with 2 tsp (10 mL) of granola, followed by 1 tsp (5 mL) each of walnuts and raisins (optional).
Return pan to oven and bake for 10 minutes or until filling is firm to the touch. Cool for a few minutes before removing from pan.
Makes 12 cups.
*Sold in a 400 g package (~50 wrappers), unused wrappers may be frozen and thawed in the refrigerator prior to use.
**Variety Tip: for best results, use Ontario Empire, Gala, Ida Red, Crispin or Cortland apples.
