Ingredients
- For the filling:
- 2 cups apples peeled, diced
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter
- For the rolls:
- 8 –10 rice paper sheets
- 1 –2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- Optional toppings:
- Powdered sugar
- Caramel sauce
- Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Prepare the apple filling:
- In a skillet, melt butter and add diced apples. Stir in sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 5–7 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Add vanilla and let cool.
- Soften rice paper:
- Dip each rice paper sheet in warm water for a few seconds until soft, then place on a clean surface.
- Fill and roll:
- Add a small amount of apple filling to the center. Fold sides inward and roll tightly like a spring roll.
- Bake:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place rolls on a lined baking sheet, brush with melted butter or oil, and bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through until golden and crispy.
- Serve:
- Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Do not over-soak rice paper to avoid tearing.
- Let filling cool before assembling to prevent sticking.
- Avoid overfilling to keep rolls intact.
- Flip rolls halfway through baking for even crispiness.
- Best served fresh, but can be reheated in oven or air fryer.
