How to make apple pie spring rolls
These apple pie rolls are so easy to make you will never want to make an apple pie again!
Sauté your apples. Chop your apples into small cubes then add to a pan over medium heat along with the juice of one lemon and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Let that cook for about 5-10 minutes until the apples have caramelized.
Make the date caramel while your apples are cooking. To a small blender add your medjool dates, water and vanilla and blend until completely smooth. Add the caramel to your apples and cook for a further few minutes.
Assemble your apple pie spring rolls. Use two layer of spring roll wrapper so they do not fall apart. Place the apple mixture in the center then roll up the bottom, then the two sides, and finally the top.
Brush with oil on both sides, coating completely. If you do not want to use oil you can use a vegan egg wash using equal parts maple syrup and plant milk.
Air fry your apple pie rolls at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes flipping halfway through. You’ll know they are done once they are golden and crispy!
What makes this healthier?
These air fried apple pie spring rolls are a much healthier option to apple pie! They are made with minimal ingredients and are refined sugar free! These apple pie rolls are super filling and made with minimally processed ingredients. The spring roll wrappers are also very thin, so you are consuming much less dough than in a classic apple pie!
Some tips from Steph
Choosing your dates. I like to use medjool dates. I find they are the most caramelly and gooey, and produce the best date paste. You can use other dates if you cannot find them but if your dates are dry make sure to first soak them in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Baking instructions. To make baked apple pie spring rolls you can bake for 15-20 minutes until golden at 400f. Make sure to flip them halfway through so all sides get nice and crispy!
Make it oil free! To make your apple pie spring rolls oil free you can sub the oil with a vegan egg wash. Just mix equal parts plant milk and maple syrup and use this in place of the oil. Just keep in mind the spring roll wrappers may have oil in them, so check for this if you are strictly oil free!
Make sure to double roll! The spring roll paper will fall apart if you only use one paper. Make sure to use two sheets!
Make it a low calorie option. To make your apple pie rolls lower in calories you can omit the date caramel and sub in a few table spoons of maple syrup. The apples will not be as gooey but it is a great option if you need a low calorie dessert!
Make them Gluten Free! You can make these gluten free by using rice paper instead of spring roll wrappers! Just make sure to use a double layer!
