Description
A light and crispy twist on classic apple pie, these baked rice paper rolls are filled with warm spiced apples and baked until golden.
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples, peeled and finely diced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 6 rice paper sheets
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon water (for sealing if needed)
Instructions
- In a small pan over medium heat, combine diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes until apples soften.
- Stir in cornstarch and cook for another minute until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Dip a rice paper sheet in warm water for a few seconds until softened, then place on a clean surface.
- Add a spoonful of apple filling in the center, fold sides inward, and roll like a spring roll.
- Place rolls seam-side down on the tray and brush lightly with melted butter or coconut oil.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Avoid oversoaking rice paper to keep rolls crispy.
- Turn rolls halfway during baking for even browning.
- Best served fresh for maximum crispness.
- Can prepare filling ahead of time.
