  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Walnuts or Pecans chopped, optional, for added crunch
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

  • - Baking Sheet
  • - Parchment Paper
  • Shallow dish or pie plate

  • Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Ensure the apples are evenly coated.
    2 Apples, 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter, 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar, 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg, 1 pinch Salt
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Spread the spiced apple mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized. If using, stir in the chopped nuts during the last 5 minutes of baking.
    2 tablespoons Walnuts or Pecans
  4. Fill a shallow dish or pie plate with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 15-20 seconds, or until it's pliable but not too soggy. Carefully lay it flat on a clean, damp work surface (a cutting board or a clean kitchen towel works well).

  5. Place a spoonful or two of the warm baked apple filling onto the lower third of the softened rice paper wrapper, leaving some space on the sides.
  6. Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper up over the filling. Then, fold in the sides. Tightly roll the wrapper upwards to create a neat, sealed roll. Repeat with the remaining rice paper wrappers and apple filling.
  7. Arrange the Baked Apple Pie Rice Paper Rolls on a serving platter.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

  9. Serve the warm Baked Apple Pie Rice Paper Rolls with the creamy yogurt dipping sauce.

Notes

It is best to enjoy these Baked Apple Pie Rice Paper Rolls fresh, as the rice paper can become sticky or tough if stored for too long. If you have leftovers, loosely cover them and store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. It's recommended to store any uneaten apple filling separately.
To reheat, gently warm the rolls in a non-stick skillet over low heat for a minute or two, or briefly in a microwave on low power (be careful not to overcook, as the wrappers can become very soft). For optimal freshness, it's often better to enjoy them at room temperature rather than reheating.
These Baked Apple Pie Rice Paper Rolls are not ideal for freezing, as the texture of the rice paper is compromised significantly upon thawing. If you wish to have the filling ready for future rolls, you can freeze the baked apple filling in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Thaw it completely in the refrigerator before using it to assemble fresh rolls.
