BAKED CRAB RANGOON
This version of my favorite Chinese appetizer is baked instead of fried, making them lower in fat. They are absolutely delicious! I don't really like crab, but I devour these.

Steps:
- In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except wonton skins and butter.
- Mix until well blended.
- Place 1 teaspoon filling in center of each wonton skin.
- Moisten edges with water.
- Fold in half to form triangle, pressing edges to seal.
- Pull bottom corners down and overlap slight; moisten one corner and press to seal. (Usually there is a diagram on the wonton package. I think they look like little kerchiefs.).
- Arrange on baking sheet that has been coated with vegetable spray.
- Brush with melted butter.
- Bake in 425º oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve hot with desired sauce.
- NOTE: I like hoisin or plum sauce and sweet and sour -- even jalapeno pepper jelly!
- NOTE: These can also be fried, if prefer.
BAKED CRAB RANGOON WITH THAI GINGER-LIME DIPPING SAUCE
This recipe is just a bit different than the many other Baked Crab Rangoon appetizers already posted to the Recipezaar database, and I sure hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do. You can use the Thai Ginger-Lime Dipping Sauce included with this recipe, or you can use your own favorite Asian dippping sauce if you like. Even something as simple as a sweet and sour sauce, Asian plum sauce, or a hot sweet mustard also work well as a dipping sauce for these Baked Crab Rangoons.

Steps:
- Prehat the oven to 350°. Lightly spray the bottom of the cups of a muffin tin with a non-stick cooking spray.
- FILLING - Add the crab meat, cream cheese, chopped green onion, minced onion, teriyaki sauce and white pepper to a small mixing bowl and mix until well blended.
- Place the wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Add spoonfuls of the crab filling to the center of each wonton wrapper. Take two opposite tips of a wonton wrapper, and bring the tips to meet over the center of the filling. Take the other two opposite tips of the wonton wrapper and bring them to the center. Gently pinch the four tips together. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers.
- Lift each Crab Rangoon appetizer gently and place one into each of the cups of the coated muffin tin. Bake in a 350° oven for 16-18 minutes or until the tips of the wonton wrappers are lightly browned.
- DIPPING SAUCE - In the meantime, add all the dipping sauce ingredients to a small bowl and mix until well blended. If you want a thinner sauce, you can place all the dipping sauce ingredients in a food processor and puree or blend for 10 to 20 seconds.
- When the appetizers are done, remove the pan from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 1 minute. Then carefully lift each baked rangoon and place on a platter.
- Serve (either warm or at room temperature) with the Thai Ginger-Lime Dipping Sauce.

Steps:
- Mix cream cheese, onions, crab, and sugar together in a bowl.
- Put about one TBSP of the mixture into the middle of a won ton wrapper and fold the wrapper up around the cream cheese mixture. (Folding doesn't matter as long as the wrapper is around the cream cheese mix).
- Continue to do this until the all the cream cheese mixtures is used and then put them on a slightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 350F for about 12 minutes or until the corners of the won ton wrappers turn brown. I always check them at about 8 and 10 minutes or so, just to make sure.
- Should make about 15 or so.
- Happy Baking!

These delicious little morsels are to die for! Creamy cheese and crab with lemon. Doesn't get much better than that! Great as an appetizer for any social event, but don't wait until then. Make them for yourself and the family, and see for yourself how DELISH they are alone, or with any kind of dipping sauce you might like. I love them with my recipes for Recipe #270395 and Recipe #206003.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350. Place won ton wrappers into sprayed muffin tins, extending edges of wrappers over sides of tin. Fill with crab mixture. Bake at 350 for 18 - 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh crab meat. If you're using frozen crab meat, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overfill the wonton wrappers. Too much filling will make the crab rangoon difficult to fold and seal.
- To prevent the crab rangoon from sticking to the baking sheet, line the sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Bake the crab rangoon until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that the filling is cooked through.
- Serve the crab rangoon with your favorite dipping sauce. Sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or duck sauce are all good options.
Conclusion:
Crab rangoon is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling and crispy wonton wrapper, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give crab rangoon a try!
