1
Original called for 2 tablespoons of butter to cook fruit inches.

For filling, in a medium bowl toss together pears, apples, cherries, and lemon juice.

In a large skillet cook fruit mixture in the 2 tablespoons butter or margarine over medium heat about 7 minutes.

17
NOTES : I made these tonight.
18
I reduced the initial amount of butter and it was fine.
19
I tried spraying them with butter flavored spray instead of brushing them with butter and they would have been better with the butter.
20
I also used bigger, square wontons and folded them diagonally to make them like turnovers (made 6).
21
They were very tasty.
22
Serve with some fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt and they would be a great lowfat dessert.
23
Fruit-and-nut-filled wontons add a subtle finish to the evening meal.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
