My baked crab rangoon cups are a quicker, easier version of a classic appetizer. I stuffed crispy baked wonton cups with creamy and spicy crabmeat filling to create this tasty appetizer. Made in just 20 minutes with no messy frying required these baked crab rangoons are my favorite easy appetizer to toss in the oven as guests arrive. Perfect for game days and celebrations!
Crispy, creamy, and delicious is a total understatement of just how good these baked crab rangoon cups are. I made classic crab rangoons even easier by baking them in the oven in wonton cups. Filled with tangy cream cheese, fresh crabmeat, and melty cheese, these appetizer cups look fancy but taste like comfort food!
What’s in This Baked Crab Rangoon Recipe?
- Wonton Wrappers: Create the perfect bite-sized crispy cups!
- Olive Oil : Helps the wontons crisp up in the oven.
- Cream Cheese: Creates a rich and tangy base for the filling.
- Mayonnaise : Helps loosen the cream cheese while keeping the filling rich.
- Crab Meat: Make sure to use the best quality crab you can— it really makes a difference!
- Green Onion: Adds a pop of color and freshness.
- Lime: Adds a touch of acidity to the filling.
- Cheese: I like using a mix of mozzarella and cheddar in this recipe, but use whatever shredded cheese you have on hand– just make sure not to use anything too strong or it will overpower the crab.
- Soy Sauce: Adds a salty and umami flavor to the filling.
- Worcestershire Sauce: Adds a tangy and umami flavor to the filling.
- Garlic Powder: Enhances the savory flavor of the filling.
Tips for Success
- If you have a food processor you can use it to make the filling nice and smooth, otherwise you can mix by hand or with a hand mixer.
- You can assemble these beauties 4 hours in advance. Follow the recipe up until you need to bake the filled wontons. Then cover them loosely and store in the fridge until you’re ready to for the final bake.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover baked crab rangoon cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through.
Serving Suggestions
I love to serve these baked crab rangoon cups with sweet chili sauce (pictured), yum yum sauce , or Korean BBQ sauce for dipping. They’re a great bite to add to your game day appetizer spread!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
