Ingredients

1 large honey crisp apple peeled and diced
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tsp arrowroot starch
1 ½ tsp cinnamon divided
2 tbsp coconut oil divided, sub ghee
10 sheets rice paper
1 egg
3 tbsp almond milk sub coconut milk
Caramel sauce

Instructions

Using a medium bowl, combine the apples, coconut sugar, arrowroot, lemon juice and 1 tsp of cinnamon. Toss to fully coat.
Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil to a pan set over low heat. Add the apples to the pan and suate for 5 minutes or until fork tender, but not completly soft. Set aside.
Whisk the egg, almond milk and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon in a large shallow bowl.
Working with one piece of rice paper at a time, dip it into the egg mixture to lightly soften. Add the rice paper to a plate, dip one more piece of rice paper and layer on top of the other piece. Allow to sit to soften for about a minute.
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 and apples.
Using a large pan, heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil (or ghee) over medium-low heat. Add 2-3 rice paper rolls to the pan at a time (making sure not to overcrowd the pan).
Sear the rolls for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until crispy. Set aside on a plate.
Serve topped with caramel sauce!

Notes

A note for egg-free. You can also make this recipe by softening the rice paper with just water instead of the egg wash, though it will be slightly less crispy.

Air fryer instructions-

Cook the apples for slightly less time as they will cook more in the air fryer.
Preheat the air fryer to 350 F. Line with vented parchment paper and add the rice paper rolls, lightly spraying with oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
