Last week I showed you healthy vegan summer rolls – now I am back already to the sweet stuff… what can I say – I could not resist these Apple Pie Spring Rolls! Impossible! ;)
Yes – you can make spring rolls also sweet. And delicious I must say! Ok – some of you might say now “hey, they look like those fried apple pies you can get at McDonald’s?!”. Well – whoever was screaming that from the back of the room – you are right. More or less ;) I call them Apple Pie Spring Rolls – the best from the US and Asia combined!
So – whatever you want to call them – they are very delicious! But be careful or better said: BE WARNED! You have to fry them and that means you have to be careful – not to burn you and not to burn the rolls – they brown pretty fast. Also when you eat them – let them cool down a bit again. It’s the same with the ones from McD – if they are fresh from the fryer, the inside is vulcano-hot and you will burn your tongue if you are not waiting. Like me when I had to try one that was just finished :P
Get the apple peeled and diced and start rolling! You can dip the rolls into a mixture of cinnamon and sugar or if you have a bit more time, make a delicious salted caramel sauce – the perfect dip for those little fellas.
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
3-4 apples, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/3 cup (70g) sugar
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 cup (60ml) water
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsp. butter
20-24 egg roll wrappers
vegetable oil for frying
cinnamon sugar
salted caramel sauce
3-4 Äpfel, geschält und klein geschnitten
2 EL Zitronensaft
70g Zucker
2 EL brauner Zucker
2 TL Zimt
1/4 TL gemahlener Ingwer
1 EL Speisestärke
60ml Wasser
1/2 TL Vanille Extrakt
2 EL Butter
20-24 Teigblätter für Frühlingsrollen
Öl zum Frittieren
Zimt-Zucker-Mischung
Salted Caramel Sauce
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Prepare the egg roll wrappers as needed (normally they have to soak in water for some time). Place small amount of apple filling onto each egg roll wrapper (I used two at a time, so they are more stable) – don’t use too much filling, or the rolls might break during frying. First fold the side closest to you over the filling, then fold the sides over the filling. Roll up to the open end and press a bit so the roll is sealed completely. Continue with the remaining filling and egg roll wrappers until all is used.
3. In high pot heat up the oil to 350°F (175°C). Place the egg rolls with a ladle in the oil and fry a few at a time until golden brown – turn occasionally so they brown evenly. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar. Be careful – the filling is very hot! Serve with salted caramel sauce.
2. Die Teigblätter vorbereiten (im Normalfall müssen sie kurze Zeit gewässert werden). Eine kleine Menge der Apfelmasse auf die Teigblätter geben (ich habe zwei Teigblätter pro Rolle verwendet, damit sie stabiler sind) und aufrollen – zuerst die Seite, die vor einem Liegt über die Masse schlagen, Rechts und Links darüber schlagen und dann komplett aufrollen und gut verschließen. Nicht zu viel Füllung verwenden, sonst können sie beim Frittieren aufplatzen. Mit den restlichen Teigblättern und Füllung ebenso verfahren, bis alles aufgebraucht ist.
3. Das Öl in einem hohen Topf auf 175°C (350°F) erhitzen. Die Frühlingsrollen mit einem Schöpflöffel in das heiße Öl geben und goldbraun frittieren – nicht zu viele auf einmal, weil sie sonst zusammenkleben und die Temperatur des Öls zu sehr sinkt. Auf Küchenpapier abtropfen lassen und mit etwas Zimt-Zucker bestreuen. Vorsicht – die Füllung der Rollen ist anfangs sehr heiß! Mit Karamellsauce servieren.

PrintApple Pie Spring Rolls
- Prep Time: 30
- Cook Time: 30
- Total Time: 60
- Yield: 12 1x
Ingredients
- 3–4 apples, peeled and chopped
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/3 cup (70g) sugar
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch
- 1/4 cup (60ml) water
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 20–24 egg roll wrappers
- vegetable oil for frying
- cinnamon sugar
- salted caramel sauce
Instructions
- Peel and dice the apples small, place in a medium size pot and mix with the lemon juice so they don’t brown. In a small bowl combine the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Sprinkle over apples, add water, vanilla extract and the butter in small pieces. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat and let simmer until the apples are tender and the mixture starts to thicken up – for about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool down.
- Prepare the egg roll wrappers as needed (normally they have to soak in water for some time). Place small amount of apple filling onto each egg roll wrapper (I used two at a time, so they are more stable) – don’t use too much filling, or the rolls might break during frying. First fold the side closest to you over the filling, then fold the sides over the filling. Roll up to the open end and press a bit so the roll is sealed completely. Continue with the remaining filling and egg roll wrappers until all is used.
- In a high pot heat up the oil to 350°F (175°C). Place the egg rolls with a ladle in the oil and fry a few at a time until golden brown – turn occasionally so they brown evenly. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar. Be careful – the filling is very hot! Serve with salted caramel sauce.
Notes
- Enjoy frying!
Die Apfeltaschen sehen grandios lecker aus! :) Die werde ich mal nachmachen, zumal ich mich wieder histaminarm ernähren muss und sie, abgesehen vom Zimt, perfekt passen.
Lieben Dank für das schöne Rezept!

Vielen Dank Daniela! :)
Ich hab leider so gar keine Ahnung von histaminarmer Ernährung – sollte ich mir vielleicht mal genauer anschauen…

Got inspired by your recipes again!! Prepared this one, didn’t change a lot just didn’t use ground ginger and vanilla extract and I baked them instead and called them Apple Pastilla!
You can see them here: http://khadijaisinthekitchen.blogspot.ca/2016/07/pastilla-aux-pommes-apple-pastilla.html
Thank you again for the inspiration.
All the best,
