• It’s serious apple pie flavor! It’s almost Fall and what could be better than apple pie flavor!

The Ingredients for Caramel Apple Rice Paper Rolls

• Apples. I recommend using Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples.
• Coconut Sugar. The perfect way to sweeten these apple rice paper rolls.
• Arrowroot Starch, Lemon Juice, and Cinnamon.
• Rice Paper. I like to use these rice papers.
• Ghee. For a dairy-free version, coconut oil works also.

Tips & Tricks

• The rice paper can take some work. If it’s your first time working with rice paper, it takes a bit of work to get the motion down, but go slow and carefully!
• Get messy and eat it with your hands! I find these kind of inconvenient to eat with a fork and knife. Just dive in with your hands.

Can you make this recipe in the air fryer?

I haven’t tested it, but it should work! I would set the air fryer to 350 F, lightly brush with oil and cook for a few minutes on each side.

CAN YOU MAKE THIS RECIPE AHEAD OF TIME?

You can definitely make the caramel up to a week ahead of time, but I would wait to assemble the rolls fresh. The rice paper can dry out if you leave it in the fridge.

Instructions

1. Using a medium bowl, combine the apples, coconut sugar, arrowroot, lemon juice and cinnamon. Toss to fully coat.
2. Working with one piece of rice paper at a time, dip it into the water to lightly soften. Add the rice paper to a plate and allow to sit for about a minute to further soften.
3. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the apple into the center of the rice paper. Roll the rice paper by folding in the two corners, then folding up the bottom edge and rolling it into a tight spring roll. Set aside and repeat for all of the rice paper. Prep another sheet of rice paper, and double-wrap the roll. Set aside and repeat for all of the ingredients.
4. Using a large pan, heat the coconut oil or ghee over medium-low heat. Add a few rice paper rolls to the pan at a time (making sure not to overcrowd the pan).
5. Sear the rolls for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until crispy. Set aside on a plate.
6. Serve topped with caramel sauce!
