Description

Baked Apple Pie Rice Paper Rolls are a delightful fusion dessert combining the warm, nostalgic flavors of apple pie with a light and crispy twist. These rolls feature a sweet apple filling spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, wrapped in crispy baked rice paper. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or dessert, they offer a healthier alternative to traditional fried treats while remaining delicious and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 8 rice paper wrappers
  • 3 medium crisp apples (such as Granny Smith or Fuji), diced finely
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts), toasted
  • A pinch of ground cloves or cardamom for extra spice

For Baking

  • Light oil spray or 1 teaspoon neutral oil for brushing (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring frequently, until apples soften but still hold their shape, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  2. Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers: Dip each rice paper wrapper briefly in warm water (about 5-10 seconds) until pliable but not overly soft. Place each softened wrapper on a clean flat surface for filling.
  3. Fill and Roll: Spoon a small amount of the cooled apple filling near one edge of the rice paper. Fold in the sides carefully, then roll tightly to enclose the filling without tearing the wrapper.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush or spray the rolls with oil to promote browning. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until rolls are crisp and golden brown.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes after baking to let the exterior crisp up further before serving. Garnish as desired with powdered sugar, cinnamon, caramel drizzle, or serve alongside vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Don’t over-soften rice paper wrappers; a quick dip prevents tearing and sogginess.
  • Use just enough filling to avoid bursting during baking.
  • Brush rolls lightly with oil for a crispy finish without added heaviness.
  • Use fresh, crisp apples for the best texture contrast.
  • Allow filling to cool completely before wrapping to prevent soggy wrappers.
