These 5-ingredient gluten-free and vegan baked apple pie rice paper rolls are a simple yet satisfying dessert. Who knew rice paper and apples could create such a delicious treat? Best of all, they fill your home with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked apple pie, and you likely already have all the ingredients on hand!
INGREDIENTS
- 4–6 apples
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Rice paper (about half a package)
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Peel and slice the apples, then toss them with brown sugar and cinnamon until well coated.
- Fill a large mixing bowl with water, about 1/4 full. Submerge one sheet of rice paper at a time, soaking just until softened but still slightly firm for easier handling.
- Lay the softened rice paper on a flat surface. Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the apple mixture onto the center. Fold the bottom edge up, tuck in the sides, and fold the top down to seal.
- Repeat the process until all the apple mixture is used.
- Place the rolls on a parchment-lined or well-oiled baking sheet. Brush both sides of each roll with cooking oil.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, turning the rolls a few times to ensure even baking.
RECIPE TIPS
- Avoid soaking the rice paper for too long; it should remain slightly stiff to prevent tearing.
- Alternatively, you can use a damp paper towel to soften the rice paper.
- Be gentle when folding to prevent holes, as any sugar leakage may burn on the pan.
