Ingredients
Scale
Apple Pie Filling
- 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Rice Paper Rolls
- 10–12 rice paper wrappers
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil (for brushing)
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Apple Filling: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the finely diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook the mixture for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently until the apples are soft and the filling has thickened. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- Soften Rice Paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper in the water for 10–15 seconds until it becomes pliable. Remove it carefully and lay it flat on a clean surface.
- Assemble Rolls: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling into the center of the softened rice paper. Fold in the sides and then tightly roll from the bottom up to seal it like a spring roll. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Bake Rolls: Place the assembled rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each roll lightly with melted butter or coconut oil to ensure crispiness and a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping the rolls halfway through to brown evenly.
- Serve: Once baked, let the rolls cool for a few minutes. Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm with optional vanilla yogurt, whipped cream, or caramel sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Serve with vanilla yogurt, whipped cream, or caramel sauce for added indulgence.
- You can prepare the filling in advance and assemble the rolls just before baking.
- For a crunchier texture, bake the rolls a few minutes longer or finish them under the broiler watchfully to prevent burning.
- Using coconut oil makes this recipe suitable for a vegan and dairy-free diet.
