Steps: Apple Dessert with Single-Serve Rice Paper
Apple dessert with rice paper, apples, and cinnamon. Gluten-free, only 220 calories, ready in 20 minutes in an air fryer or oven.
Peel the apples, core them, and cut into small cubes.
Transfer them to a non-stick pan, add two tablespoons of water, cinnamon, and lemon juice, stir, and cook over medium heat for a few minutes until they become soft and slightly fragrant. Turn off the heat and let cool.
Dip the rice papers on both sides in the beaten egg.
Layer, as seen in the photo, the three sheets you will need to make the single-serve apple dessert, making them adhere well to each other. Use a brush to better distribute the egg if needed.
Distribute the cooled cooked apples, then fold in the short sides and then the long ones. Roll from the short side forming a compact roll.
Place the rolls in the air fryer basket and cook at 392°F for about 15 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are well browned and crispy. Alternatively, you can bake them in a preheated static oven at 392°F until golden.
Garnish, if desired, with a teaspoon of honey and some hazelnut crumbs.
Serve the crispy apple dessert with rice paper hot or warm, with a nice cup of tea or coffee.
Storage
You can freeze the apple dessert with rice paper, raw, with some precautions:
– prepare the rolls already stuffed and rolled;
– place them on a tray well spaced;
– put them in the freezer until they are hard, then transfer them to a bag or freezer container.
They can be stored for up to 1 month.
Cook directly from frozen in an air fryer at 392°F, adding 3–5 minutes to the expected time.
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I prepare the apple dessert in advance?
You can prepare the rolls in advance and store them in the fridge for a few hours before cooking. To maintain crispiness, it’s advisable to bake them just before serving.
What type of apples is best to use?
The best apples are those that hold up well during cooking, such as Golden, Fuji, or Pink Lady, but you can also use other varieties depending on your taste.
How to replace the egg?
Brush the rice papers with a little plant milk or mix 2 tablespoons of water + 1 teaspoon of oil and lightly brush the rice papers.
Can I use any other fruit?
You can use pears, cut them into cubes and cook them with cinnamon or vanilla.
