Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Assembly Ingredients

  • 8–10 rice paper sheets
  • Melted butter or oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Filling: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat, add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and nutmeg if using. Cook until apples soften and sugar caramelizes slightly, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Soften the Rice Paper Sheets: Submerge one rice paper sheet at a time in a shallow dish filled with warm water for 10 to 15 seconds until soft and pliable but not soggy. Lay flat on a clean surface or damp towel.
  3. Fill and Roll: Place a generous spoonful of cooled apple filling near the bottom edge of the rice paper. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the filling inside. Repeat for all sheets.
  4. Bake to Crispy Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly brush or spray rolls with melted butter or oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and crisp.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let rolls cool for a few minutes so filling sets slightly. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a firm texture that holds up well during cooking.
  • Do not over-soak rice paper to avoid sogginess; keep soaking time short and handle gently.
  • Seal the rolls tightly to prevent filling leaks while baking.
  • Brush rice paper with melted butter or oil before baking for enhanced flavor and crunch.
  • Allow rolls to cool briefly before serving to keep crispness and avoid hot filling burns.
