Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 4–6 apples, peeled and sliced
Spices and Sweeteners:
- 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) cinnamon
Wrapping and Cooking Ingredients:
- Rice paper sheets
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) cooking oil
Instructions
- Heat the oven to a scorching 230C (450F), ensuring a perfect crisp environment for the rolls.
- Transform apples into a delectable filling by peeling and slicing them, then generously coating with brown sugar and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
- Create a water bath in a large bowl, submerging rice paper sheets briefly until they become pliable yet maintain a slight structural integrity.
- Lay each softened rice paper on a clean surface, positioning the aromatic apple mixture precisely in the center of the wrapper.
- Expertly fold the bottom edge upward, carefully tuck in the sides, then seal the top to create a neat, compact parcel.
- Continue crafting rolls until the entire apple mixture is transformed into delicate parcels, arranging them strategically on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Enhance the rolls’ golden potential by lightly brushing both surfaces with a thin layer of cooking oil, ensuring maximum crispness.
- Slide the prepared rolls into the preheated oven, rotating them periodically to achieve an even, sun-golden exterior during the 25-30 minute baking process.
Notes
- Perfectly soften rice paper by using warm water, which helps prevent tearing and makes rolling easier.
- Consider adding a sprinkle of nutmeg or allspice to the apple mixture for deeper, more complex flavor profiles.
- Use firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to maintain texture and prevent soggy rolls during baking.
- For gluten-free and vegan variations, ensure rice paper and ingredients are certified gluten-free and plant-based.
