Sweet Potato Pie Ravioli with Cinnamon Caramel Sauce

I'm a little schizophrenic in the kitchen. I've been so excited for Potato Week, because I have such great ideas... At first, I was planning on a Sweet Potato Souffle, but as I searched the web for recipe ideas, it occurred to me that I could do something so much simpler, and possibly a more popular choice among our blog lovers! This one hearkens back to the week when I made Chocolate Hazelnut Ravioli (http://www.kitchenpsycho.com/1/post/2011/08/chocolate-hazelnut-ravioli-dipped-in-white-chocolate-pumpkin-seeds.html). Instead, I chose to use a sweet potato pie mixture. The family is in LOOOOVE with this one! I hope you can try it soon!

SWEET POTATO PIE RAVIOLI WITH CINNAMON CARAMEL SAUCE 
1 ½ cups mashed sweet potato, room temperature
2 tablespoons softened butter
¾ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, scrambled for egg wash
1 package wonton wrappers
peanut or vegetable oil

Mix sweet potato, sugar and spices well. Spoon a small amount onto the center of a wonton wrapper. Using another wrapper, wash the sides with egg and place over the top of the other wonton, making sure the sides are well fixed. Fry on medium high heat for 5-8 seconds per side, or until golden brown. Drizzle with Cinnamon Caramel Sauce.

Cinnamon Caramel Sauce (inspired by recipe from Southern Living, 2006) 1 ¼ cups sugar
1/3 cup water
¾ cups whipping cream
1/3 cup butter, cut into pieces
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ tsp cinnamon

Combine sugar and water in a large heavy saucepan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high, and boil gently, without stirring, until syrup turns a deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush and swirling pan (about 8 minutes). (Swirling the pan, instead of stirring, promotes more even cooking.) Gradually add cream (sauce will bubble vigorously). Add butter; stir gently until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla and cinnamon.
