How to Make Baked Apple Pie Rice Paper Rolls
Ingredients:
- 4-6 apples (any kind)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Rice paper wrappers (about 12 sheets)
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Directions:
- Prep the oven – Heat to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or brush with oil.
- Make the filling – Peel and thinly slice the apples. Mix with brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Soften the rice paper – Fill a large bowl 1/4 full with room temperature water. Dip one rice paper sheet at a time just until it starts to soften. Don’t let it get too soggy.
- Wrap them – Place softened rice paper on the counter. Put 1-2 tablespoons of the apple mixture in the center. Fold the bottom up, sides in, then top down like a burrito.
- Bake – Place on the prepared baking sheet seam-side down. Brush the tops with oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning every 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and serve – Let cool for 5 minutes before eating (the filling will be very hot).
How to Serve Baked Apple Pie Rice Paper Rolls
Serve these rolls warm for the best flavor. You can enjoy them as they are or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. Drizzling caramel sauce over them adds a nice touch too!
How to Store Baked Apple Pie Rice Paper Rolls
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within a few days. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven for a few minutes until warmed through.
Tips to Make Baked Apple Pie Rice Paper Rolls
- Choose apples that are sweet and tart for the best flavor. Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work well.

- Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or ginger for a unique twist.
Variation
You can add nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the apple filling for extra crunch. You can also swap out apples for other fruits, like pears or peaches.
