Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 9 servings

  • 1/2 cup seedless apricot fruit spread

  • 1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce

  • 1 tablespoon less-sodium soy sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest

  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice (from 1 orange)

  • 4 ounces cream cheese

  • 4 ounces fresh lump crabmeat, drained

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 clove garlic, grated (about 1/2 teaspoon)

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 18 wonton wrappers

  • cooking spray

Directions

  1. Stir together apricot spread, chili-garlic sauce, soy sauce, orange zest, and orange juice in a small bowl for the dipping sauce.

  2. Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. Stir together cream cheese, crab, chives, Worcestershire, garlic, pepper, and salt in a bowl for the filling. Arrange 6 wonton wrappers on a work surface. Keep remaining wrappers covered until ready to use to prevent them from drying out.

  4. Spoon about 2 teaspoon crab filling in center of each wrapper. Lightly wet borders of wrapper with water. Bring together the 2 opposite corners of the wrapper over the filling and seal together. Bring remaining 2 corners up toward the center, sealing edges of the wrapper to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

  5. Working in batches if needed, coat dumplings with cooking spray and arrange in an even layer in the air fryer basket.

  6. Cook until dumplings are crispy and golden brown, about 8 minutes. Serve with sauce.
