| 1 tbsp | butter (to grease muffin pan) | 15 mL |
| 24 | small Wonton wrappers* | 24 |
| Filling: | ||
| 4 | eggs | 4 |
| pinch of salt | ||
| 1 | medium Ontario apple**, cored and diced | 1 |
| 2 tsp | ground cinnamon | 10 mL |
| 1/2 cup | whole grain granola (blend of whole grain oats & wheat flakes) | 125 mL |

Directions
Before you begin: 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.
