Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
Dissolve the cornstarch in water to create a slurry, then stir it into the apple mixture. This will help thicken the filling as it cooks.
Prepare a clean, damp kitchen towel and place it on your work surface. Fill a shallow dish with warm water.
Submerge one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 5 seconds until it softens. Lay it flat on the damp kitchen towel, smoothing out any wrinkles.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture onto the bottom third of the rice paper, leaving some space around the edges.
Fold in the sides of the rice paper wrapper, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to encase the filling. Repeat with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling.
Place the rolled strudels seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each one lightly with melted butter to ensure crispiness.
Bake the strudels in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice paper is golden and crispy.
Remove the strudels from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your warm and flaky Rice Paper Apple Strudels as a delightful dessert or snack!
