Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 6 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Assembly

  • 12 rice paper wrappers
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter

Optional

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the rolls.
  2. Prepare Apples: In a large bowl, combine the diced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, brown sugar, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly until the apples are evenly coated with the spices and cornstarch, which will help thicken the filling while baking.
  3. Soak Rice Paper: Pour warm water into a shallow dish. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds—or until it becomes soft and pliable. Remove and lay it flat on a clean surface, ready for filling.
  4. Fill the Wrapper: Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture onto the lower third of the softened rice paper wrapper, making sure not to overfill to avoid tearing.
  5. Roll It Up: Fold the sides of the rice paper over the apple filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom upward, creating a neat roll. Place the seam side down on the prepared baking sheet to maintain shape while baking.
  6. Brush with Butter: Repeat the soaking, filling, and rolling process for the remaining rice paper wrappers and apple filling. Once all rolls are assembled, evenly brush the tops with melted butter to help achieve a golden, crispy texture during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice paper turns crispy and golden brown, ensuring a delightful crunch with every bite.
  8. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before handling to let them set and prevent burning.
  9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Just before serving, dust the rolls with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation flair. Serve alongside ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to maintain texture in the filling.
  • The cornstarch thickens the filling as it bakes, preventing it from making the rice paper soggy.
  • Be gentle when soaking rice paper to avoid tearing.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of ground cloves or allspice to the apple mixture.
  • Rice paper rolls are best served warm to enjoy the crispiness and melty filling.
  • If you prefer a vegan option, substitute melted butter with a plant-based alternative.
